The record


Title: Swans - Birthing
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2025, Rock, Experimental Rock, New York City
Matrix #: YG68
Condition: VG++ (LM)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle Gira framed this as the end of Swans’ “all-consuming sound worlds,” treating it like a closing chapter, not just another late-career record.
  2. Studio Lore The material was built on tour first, then expanded and rearranged in the studio rather than cut as fixed songs.
  3. Media Narrative As the band’s 17th studio album, Birthing was presented as a transition point, with Swans moving away from the massive long-form approach that defined their recent era.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
