Condition: Brand New Ships from: Melbourne
Children of God by Swans, released in 1987, marks a crucial turning point in the bands evolution from brutal, industrial noise toward a more melodic, textural, and spiritual direction. The album introduces elements of gothic folk, darkwave, and neoclassical music while retaining the bands punishing intensity. Jarboes vocals provide a haunting counterpoint to Michael Giras deep proclamations, and the expanded sonic palette gives the music a ritualistic and transcendent quality.
Thematically, Children of God explores religion, power, innocence, and transcendence, contrasting apocalyptic imagery with moments of fragile beauty. The result is a work that feels both terrifying and redemptive, situating Swans as one of the most ambitious and uncompromising acts of the late 80s underground. It
