Swans announce tour dates

On May 13, Swans will release To Be Kind, the band’s follow-up to 2012’s epic The Seer, via Young God Records. The album will be released one day earlier in the UK via Mute. And to mark the occasion, the noise-rock/post-punk legends have lined up a series of tour dates in both North America and the UK. So far, the North American leg of the tour only five dates, so let’s hold a good thought about the possibility of Michael Gira & Co. bringing their art-destruction to the other side of the country.
