In this last place of light: he dares to live
Who stops being a bird, yet beats his wings
Against the immense immeasurable emptiness of things. --Theodore Roethke

CHANGE! Is Here
New album from The Black Swans
Buy | Listen | Lyrics


PRAISE FOR CHANGE!
"A mood record that recalls the candlelit starkness of early Leonard Cohen as backed by Bob Dylan's Desire-era band, Change! perfectly captures a feeling of lonely desolation on mesmerizing dirges like "Hope Island" and "Shake," where DeCicca's repressed vocals contrast with the searing emotionalism of Noel Sayre's violin." - Onion A.V. Club

"7.9 Out of 10 ... There's something disquieting at the bottom of the Black Swans' songs, something half-shaped and half-seen, like a body in a lake. The surface of the music is usually calm and familiar, but something disturbing appears briefly in the crest of each wave of violin or guitar... Change! sounds luminously cinematic." - Pitchfork

"Change! is an 'A' ... The quality of color ... shames both the gimmick artists and those who seek drama in sheer thickness of sound ... The songs are as conflicted and lovely as only people’s graspings for each other are and, if in this sense only, perfect." - Stylus

"Grows on you like kudzu & eventually becomes quite mesmerizing." - USA Today

"Anyone who digs the Willard Grant Conspiracy, Handsome Family or American Music Club is in for a treat from these poet-musicians who skip on life's jagged rocks so we too may make the same leaps." - JamBase
