Far from being sunblasted and worn out from playing non-stop noise assaults under Swans, Michael Gira is taking to a solo tour in 2014.
The Swans frontman will perform material from three guises: Solo, Angels of Light and Swans.
His European schedule includes one UK date, at London’s Church of St. John in Hackney.
A new Swans album is expected to be released in late 2014.
