Swans are an American experimental rock band founded in 1981 (some sources state 1982) in New York City by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Initially emerging from the No Wave scene, they became known for their bleak, brutal, and abrasive sound, exploring genres such as noise rock, post-punk, industrial, and later post-rock and drone. Over the decades, their music evolved—incorporating melody, acoustic elements, ambient textures, and folk influences—while maintaining an intense, immersive atmosphere. The band disbanded in 1997 and was later re-formed by Gira in 2010 with a revolving cast of collaborators.
