It’s the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I’ve ever made, been involved in or imagined. But it’s unfinished, like the songs themselves. It’s one frame in a reel. The frames blur, blend and will eventually fade

Released August 28, 2012. About The Seer 2 contributors. The wolf used for the artwork of The Seer was based on a tempera painting by Simon Henwood, an artist and director best known for constructing the video to Kanye West’s Love Lockdown. The teeth were meant to resemble that of the band’s vocalist, guitarist, and leader, Michael Gira. He discussed the creation of this cover in a 2012 interview with Pitchfork

The Seer is a superlative album which ranks amongst the very best work released under Swans name. Swans - The Seer is not an easy listen. This is one of the few albums I have heard that has genuinely terrified me to uncontrollable tears. The diverse arrangement of tracks paints a really grim and open story. There is a lot of interpretation to be had with this album. Simply laying back and letting it consume me, I saw the story of this Seer as a physical man becoming a monster. The ending solidified this to me and it sent.

Michael Gira claims that Swans' The Seer took 30 years to make: "it's the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I've ever made, been involved in or imagined. This is not hyperbole. Two years after My Father Will Lead Me Up to a Rope to the Sky, The Seer is the most sprawling, ambitious, thoughtfully conceived and tightly performed recording in the band's catalog - also not hyperbole - over two discs, two hours, and 11 tracks. And it is not an endurance test, but an argument for compulsive listening.

The Seer took 30 years to make. The songs began on an acoustic guitar, then were fleshed out with (invaluable) help from my friends, then were further tortured and seduced in rehearsals, live and in the studio, and now they await further cannibalism and force-feeding as we prepare to perform some of them live, at which point they’ll mutate further, endlessly, or perhaps be discarded for a while.
