Swans

"Oxygen"

Art rock wrecking crew Swans are gearing up to release their guest-heavy album To Be Kind next month. After treating us to "A Little God in My Hands," they've shared another taste of the release with "Oxygen."

The track is a muscular slab of post-punk, pairing off-kilter drums with a repetitive bass-and-guitar attack while Michael Gira yells some vocals. Through its eight-minute runtime, the song builds and builds, eventually adding aggressive horn stabs and more layers of sound.

Check out "Oxygen" below.

To Be Kind is due out on May 13 on Young God Records.
