Was revisiting all the Head Automatica stuff, and saw that someone made a really good compilation video of all the live Swan Damage songs a few months ago. Seems pretty complete, and they touched up the audio.
Pretty sure Swan Damage was shelved and thus still owned by Warner. I’ve never understood the mindset behind ‘shelving’ a record and never releasing it - especially in the ~digital age~.
I listened to it loads when I graduated college. Don't think I had a high school graduation day because its not a thing in the UK. Dance Party Plus is always a favourite HA track. Always loved Eisley, so that explains part, but also its a banger.
Doing a Glassjaw discography run on this cloudy spring day. It's hitting different. Hoping to fit in Head Automatica between meetings.
So does anyone know... Anything about the HA reunion, haha? There's a handful of shows now, but I can't find any articles or social posts about it at all. Who's in the band at this point? Are they making new music? Just curious
I know they’re doing a few dates but the only promo photo I’ve seen is just of Daryl Really want to hear Swan Damage one day
I was reading a really good interview with Daryl about Swan Damage and if we'll ever hear it, have you read that? I can find it and post it if you haven't, it's very interesting
We have this other long interview: https://colorsofinsomnia.substack.com/p/coi016-sometimes-stuck-is-stuck-fate
