On May 12, the next hefty addition to Swans’ mighty oeuvre, To Be Kind, will arrive courtesy of their new label Mute. To recap, it’s their follow-up to The Seer, The Quietus’ favourite album of 2012, and is another massive proposition, running to over two hours, featuring guests including Little Annie, St. Vincent, Bill Rieflin and label mates Cold Specks and channelling the mesmeric, ritualistic energy of the band’s live shows.
