Time to reveal another contributor to our 2nd album. Norman Westberg is a pioneer of guitar with stunning ambient solo work, and with iconic New York no-wave band, Swans. If you love ambient music, I recommend his work; find on bandcamp/streaming platforms.

In 1996 #swans broke up. #michaelgira went on to do #angelsoflight while other members took the opportunity to play more rock based music. Recorded in 96/97 and never released until now. #normanwestberg #algiskizys #danjoeright #vinniesignorelli #unsane #therentals #foetus #grunge #noiserock
