SWANS - BODY TO BODY, JOB TO JOB (YOUNG GOD, 1991)


It's no secret that updates have slowed dramatically since school began, myself and Mr. Daltrey finding ourselves re-inundated with assorted obligations. More and more of you have not refrained from downloading the past posts in spite of a lack of updates. I will do my damndest to rectify this situation in the future, and by way of an apology offer you this extremely high-quality rip of the seminal SWANS' definitive early minor work, "BODY TO BODY, JOB TO JOB." Recorded between 82 and 85, I think this is a good entry point to early SWANS precisely because it eliminates much of the driving, crushing sameness exhibited on "FILTH" or "COP". Their brutalitarian sonic nihilism is expanded ever so slightly by the fact that this LP was culled from studio recordings, tape loops, and multiple live sets. Heedlessly unsettling, philosophical without pretention, completely necessary.
