Michael Gira<\/span> –\u00a0Wicked Spins Radio interview<\/h4>\n
“Swans has always changed members.\u00a0 I can say this is the best group I have ever had, the best congregation that I\u2019ve ever sported and I\u2019m happy to have them on board and they are really great musicians.<\/strong> <\/em>“<\/h5>\n

The Swans<\/span> are an iconic band spanning a couple of decades.\u00a0 Lead vocalist Michael Gira<\/span> is just about to embark on a solo European tour before concentrating on the new Swans album and touring again with them.\u00a0 I got to catch up with Michael as he kindly spared us some time out of his very busy schedule.<\/p>\n

\"Gira<\/a><\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 Hi Michael, thank you for giving Wicked Spins Radio this interview.\u00a0 Firstly can you tell us a little bit about what you are doing at the moment?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 I just about to leave for a solo European tour, I have just finished a tour of the West Coast of the United States.\u00a0 I am doing about 25 shows in Europe in 32 days.\u00a0 I\u2019ve just finished a new Swans album it\u2019s called The Seer and it will be out in August.\u00a0 Then Swans will be touring in August for another year probably and I don\u2019t even remember I\u2019m so busy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>– You embark on a solo European Tour soon.\u00a0 Which venues are looking forward to playing the most?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 I really can\u2019t tell you (laughs).\u00a0 I\u2019m just in a tomaton, people push me forward with a pin and I just go play a show<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 You have a few festivals coming up on your European tour, do you prefer to play to a bigger audience or a smaller one?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 When I\u2019m playing solo I like smaller more intimate venues.<\/p>\n

\"Gira<\/a><\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 Do you have a big fan base in Europe and in which country would you say you are most popular?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 I really don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know how big my or Swans fan base is in relation to other people.\u00a0 I guess a decent amount of people are interested in the music.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 Your last album The Milk Of M. Gira was an assortment of home recordings, what was the reason to release your private recordings?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Well that\u2019s something I have been doing for 10 years now through the Young Gods website, just to give fans and people who appreciate the music something that\u2019s more primary and raw I suppose.\u00a0 A different take on the songs that later become orchestrated with either Angels Of Light or Swans.\u00a0 The album The Milk Of M. Gira is a collection of the best of the three or four solo releases I have done over the last 10 years, they are really low key releases that have just been on the website or played live.\u00a0 I put this out because I need something out while I\u2019m touring, I\u2019m a working musician so I have to tour all the time and I just needed something to help the tour a little bit.<\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a><\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 How is recording on the new album going and what new can fans expect to hear?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Well it\u2019s a cinematic undertaking, there\u2019s lots of different aspects of sound on it.\u00a0 It goes from quiet pastoral things to very calamitous moments where it\u2019s just waves of sounds and rhythm.\u00a0 It\u2019s very nuanced and it works very well.\u00a0 There are some guests on it which aid it, besides my core members in the band which are the same people who were on the last record and who we just toured with.\u00a0 There are some guest vocalists for instance Al and Mimi from the band Low are singing a vocal with me it\u2019s not background vocals they are singing equal to me on a song that\u2019s called Lunacy.\u00a0 And the band Akron Family have contributed some Beach Boyesk vocals to another song which is called Piece Of The Sky and Jarboe also sings on that song and another song, she does some background vocals as well.\u00a0 I also wrote a song which I thought was good for me to sing and I wanted someone also to sing it with me and I happened on the lady Karen O and she\u2019ll be singing the lead vocal on a song called Song For A Warrior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 The Swans have seen a few line-up changes since they started out, what is the current band line up and what background are they from?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Swans has always changed members.\u00a0 I can say this is the best group I have ever had, the best congregation that I\u2019ve ever sported and I\u2019m happy to have them on board and they are really great musicians.\u00a0 We have just toured 18 months last year and we\u2019re about to go out for another year.\u00a0 They are excellent musicians and good blokes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 What do you think it is that has kept Swans alive for so long?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Fear of poverty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 What is your best memory of being with the Swans, what\u2019s your greatest achievement?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Surviving.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WSR<\/span>\u2013 Thank you so much for giving Wicked Spins Radio this interview, is there anything you would like to add?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Michael<\/span> \u2013 Thank you for your interest and good luck the station .<\/p>\n
