Angels of Light Prep We Are Him LP
Former Swans main man Michael Gira will return with the fifth full-length with his Angels of Light project on August 21. The record, titled We Are Him and set for release on Gira's own Young God Records, is the follow-up to 2005's Sing "Other People"; it also features quite a host of guest musicians.
Previous Gira collaborators Akron/Family served as a backing band to lay down basic tracks for the album, and other contributors include Christoph Hahn (Swans), Bill Rieflin (Swans, Ministry, R.E.M.), Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), Eszter Balint (Stranger Than Paradise), Steve Moses (Lambic), new Young God signee Larkin Grimm, and "Spinning on Air" host David Garland.
To celebrate the album's release, Gira will play a solo show at NYC's Highline Ballroom on September 14. Marissa Nadler and Castanets round out the ace bill.
We Are Him:
01 Black River Song
02 Promise of Water
03 The Man We Left Behind
04 My Brother's Man
05 This Is Not Here
06 Joseph's Song
07 We Are Him
08 Sometimes I Dream I'm Hurting You
09 Sunflower's Here to Stay
10 Good Bye Mary Lou.
