Product description

Swans' "Die Tür Ist Zu," released in 1996, is a captivating EP that serves as a prelude to their seminal album "Soundtracks for the Blind." Initially available only in Germany, this collection offers a unique blend of Swans' signature styles, encompassing noise rock, post-rock, neofolk, industrial rock, and experimental genres. The EP features a mix of alternate and live versions of songs from both previous and later albums, providing a fresh perspective on the band's discography.

The album kicks off with the majestic "Ligeti's Breath / Hilflos Kind," a sprawling 22-minute track that showcases Swans' ability to craft intricate, layered soundscapes. This epic opener sets the tone for the rest of the EP, which includes the haunting "Ich Sehe Die Alle In Einer Reihe" and the atmospheric "Surrogate Drones." The EP also features "YRP," a track that highlights the band's industrial influences, and "You Know Everything (Reprise 1991)," a reimagined version of a previous song.

With a duration of just over 55 minutes, "Die Tür Ist Zu" is a concise yet powerful collection that offers a deep dive into Swans' sonic universe. The EP's German title, which translates to "The Door Is Closed," hints at the introspective and experimental nature of the music within. Fans of Swans and those interested in exploring the band's diverse musical landscape will find "Die Tür Ist Zu" to be a compelling addition to their collection.

This LP was released in 2018.

    The audio quality is incredibly crisp and distinct, and it's generally completely silent, except for the super rare hiss that probably comes from the factory.

    The audio quality is incredibly crisp and distinct, and it's generally completely silent with only the rarest of faint pops, probably from the manufacturing process.

    Picked up a copy at Rough Trade East for £29.99. They've got a few more left in their remaining RSD stock if you're in the area (though they were sold out on the day).
