Soundtracks For The Blind was intended to be the final studio album by Swans, released as a double disc epic in 1996.
The album finds the band’s sound taking various disparate forms, from the droning ambient tones of opener ‘Red Velvet Corridor’, to the odd pulsing techno of ‘Volcano’ via more conventional (if that’s even a word that can be associated with Swans) song-based recordings.

This is an album that’s all over the place in stylistic terms, but given the volume of material, it takes on something of an epic feel, somehow making sense as a single drawn out narrative. The spooky dulcimers of ‘Secret Friends’ match up with the atmospheric dissonances of ‘I Was A Prisoner In Your Skull’ and the nerve jangling, haunted house songwriting of ‘Her Mouth Is Filed With Honey’.
