Swans have confirmed details of their next LP, entitled To Be Kind.
To Be Kind will be released on 13 May, following on from 2012′s The Seer. It’s been revealed that St. Vincent’s Annie Clark, Cold Specks, Little Annie and more will contribute to the record.
The album will be released digitally, on vinyl, CD and perhaps even via a USB stick too. “I am thinking of releasing it as a USB ‘stick’ / flashdrive (with special packaging), so that this ultimate, high quality version can be listened to from beginning to end, without interruption”.
The LP will be over two hours in length.
