Originally Released: 2010
Label: Young God

Description by OLDIES.com:

Reactivated and invigorated, NOT a reunion. Cataclysmic pastoral, mono-tonal, bone-crushing, melodic, ever-ascending, dissonant, monstrous and joyful. Features Swans members old and new, with contributions from Devendra Banhart and members of Mercury Rev, REM, Angels of Light and many more...

Entertainment Reviews:

Uncut - p.106

4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat we actually have here is a record more in line with the excellent, vengeful Americana of frontman Michael Gira's latter-day Angels Of Light fare."

The Wire - p.37

"[The songs] balance, combine and layer their earlier experiments in guitar density and duration with blinding shafts of light."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.51

Ranked #44 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Monstrous, beautiful, satisfying."
Pitchfork (Website) - "MY FATHER grooves, and grooves hard. 'Eden Prison' features one of Gira's most menacing performances in recent years..."
