Soundtracks for the Blind

Album by Swans

Soundtracks for the Blind is Swans’ 1996 double album, assembled from field recordings, archival tapes, samples and studio sessions, blending experimental rock, ambient, industrial and post-rock. Conceived as a long-form sound collage, it explores themes of memory and time, and was their final studio release before Swans went on hiatus.
