Matrix run-out info:
The faintly inscribed "geometric" marks, consisting of the symmetrical symbols '+' and '?' and the digit '1' are added in the matrix runout during plating and therefore mirrored '+ ?' and '? ?'"White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity (2LP+MP3)" is a lavish vinyl edition of one of Swans' most celebrated works, presented here as a double LP with an additional MP3 download for flexible listening. Originally released in the early 1990s, this album marks a pivotal artistic phase for the band, capturing their transition from the brutal minimalism of their early years into a more expansive, orchestral, and melodic form of post-punk and experimental rock. Across its extensive running time, the record unfolds like a dark, spiritual journey: towering guitar layers, insistent rhythms, atmospheric keys and strings, and Michael Gira's intense, incantatory vocals combine to create a sound world that is both overwhelming and deeply emotional. The tracklist moves between brooding, slow-burning epics and more immediately gripping songs, all bound by a sense of gravity and transcendence that has made this album a touchstone in the Swans catalogue. The 2LP format underlines the scope and dynamic range of the recording, allowing the music to breathe while the MP3 download code ensures you can carry this monumental work with you in digital form.
Swans, founded and led by Michael Gira, are one of the most influential bands to emerge from New York's early 1980s no-wave and post-punk scene. Over the decades they have earned a reputation for uncompromising, physically powerful live shows and a discography that continually reinvents itself while retaining a core of intensity and spiritual urgency. After their early, crushingly heavy records, Swans evolved into a group capable of vast, hypnotic compositions that bridge experimental rock, post-punk, and neoclassical ambience--an approach that would later draw wide critical acclaim for albums such as "Soundtracks for the Blind" and, following their 2010s reactivation, works like "The Seer" and "To Be Kind," which were frequently cited in end-of-year and even decade-best lists. "White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity" stands as an essential chapter in this evolution: a fan favourite and a key point of entry for listeners wanting to explore the band's transition from raw extremity to grand, visionary song-craft.
This edition is released by Mute, a renowned independent label known for championing boundary-pushing artists since the late 1970s. Over the years, Mute has built a reputation as a home for innovative, often genre-defying music, providing long-term support and artistic freedom to some of the most distinctive voices in electronic, rock, and experimental music. Their catalogue reflects a commitment to high production standards and carefully curated physical releases, and this Swans 2LP is in line with that tradition: a thoughtfully assembled package that treats the album as the substantial, immersive work it is. For collectors of vinyl and for fans of profound, emotionally charged alternative music, "White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity (2LP+MP3)" is both a historical milestone and a powerful listening experience in its own right. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
