Swans frontman Michael Gira chats to Stuart about their new album To Be Kind, the modern world and his unique take on liberation.

Swans emerged from New York's no wave scene of the early 1980s alongside Sonic Youth. Famed for their outrageously loud performances Michael Gira reformed the group with a new line up in 2010 and the new material has opened their sound out to new audiences.
