Poison words flowing out the beast of thousand tongues.
(Helmed by Pyramids' R. Loren, the SWWW crew includes Swans' Ted Parsons
on drums, Prurient's Dominick Fernow handling the noise, James Blackshaw
on piano, vocals from Marissa Nadler, and a plethora of other duties
handled by members of Unwound, Krallice, Slowdive, Nadja, Current 93,
and more. Add to the fact that the record was inspired by a tripped-out
encounter Loren had with The Red Badge of Courage author Stephen Crane's ghost, and you've got what appears to be one heady, crowded outing on your hands. In reality, Sailors With Wax Wings
is anything but convoluted, using most of its sticky-slow 53 minutes to
focus on ghosted textures, squalling riffage, and melodic theatrics).
