Description
When thinking about re-issuing the vinyl version of Seven Swans, Sufjan and I decided to look back at some of the unmixed tracks that didnt make the cut for the record. I went back to the 1/4 8 track tapes and made rough mixes of these recordings to play for Sufjan. Seven Swans was actually recorded before Michigan, so we had an early version of Romulus that Sufjan had decided didnt work with the album. Also we had a song Borderline which ended up on a Rough Trade 7. The two remaining songs, I Went Dancing With My Sister and Waste Of What Your Kids Wont Have, were great fun to hear again. I put bass lines down on them and mixed them up for Sufjan to hear. We liked what we heard, but felt that they still belong separate from the album. So here we are with the vinyl re-issue of Seven Swans. Its an album that I so proud to have been part of and still enjoy listening to. The vinyl mastering is better, the vinyl is thicker, the cover is matte instead of shiny, and its got a bonus 7 of two Sufjan songs from the Seven Swans sessions that are not available in any other format. Get a new needle for your turntable and enjoy.
