They were dark and moody and one of the early stars of New York City’s No Wave scene. Swans took Noise Rock and slowed it down creating a murky texture of music that was beautiful as it could be depressing. With future albums, Swans proved their ability as musicians as they utilized various other styles but still created albums that could be best described as dark and pretty. A strange feat by a strange band indeed.
