{"title":"The Angels Of Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eAngels of Light was an American neofolk and experimental project formed in 1998 by singer-songwriter Michael Gira, who created the group immediately after disbanding his legendary avant-garde rock band, Swans, seeking a stark departure from that project’s signature sonic brutality. Rather than utilising punishing volume, this new collective prioritised a more melodic, acoustic-driven sound heavily influenced by folk, country, and Americana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperating as a revolving door of talented collaborators, the band’s instrumentation shifted away from traditional rock structures to embrace rich, textured arrangements featuring strings, accordions, and woodwinds. Despite the gentler musical backdrop, Gira maintained his characteristically intense, harrowing lyrical themes, exploring love, death, and human frailty. The project served as Gira's primary creative vehicle for over a decade until he chose to revive Swans in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fungilator-recommended-artists\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#C4293D;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eIf you like The Angels Of Light you should check out:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/swans-vinyl\"\u003eSwans\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/current-93-vinyl\"\u003eCurrent 93\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nick-cave-vinyl\"\u003eNick Cave\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chelsea-wolfe-vinyl\"\u003eChelsea Wolfe\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tom-waits-vinyl\"\u003eTom Waits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"angels-of-light-angels-of-light-sing-other-people-vinyl-lp-swans","title":"ANGELS OF LIGHT 'Angels Of Light Sing \"Other People\"' Vinyl LP (Swans)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCondition: New\/Sealed\/Mint\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Young God","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797946552541,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9434\/3070\/files\/IMG_2081_e79827a6-6aef-4092-aa05-1a09b70fc353.jpg?v=1758265408"},{"product_id":"angels-of-light-we-are-him-vinyl-2lp-swans","title":"ANGELS OF LIGHT 'We Are Him' Vinyl 2LP (Swans)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCondition: New\/Sealed\/Mint\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goldmine Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797946781917,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9434\/3070\/files\/IMG_2079.jpg?v=1758265442"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.goldminerecords.com.au\/collections\/angels-of-light-vinyl.oembed","provider":"GOLDMINE RECORDS PTY.
