mitski tonight swans tomorrow
David Foster
Pan or BTFO on Swans Predictions on if they'll mention the rape allegations and if so, how much space do they give it?
Cameron Bailey
Hmm, I follow a lot of the P4k writers on twitter and 2bh the allegations and Larkin Grimm haven't been brought up in quite a while. I think they've forgotten about it or it is just inconsequential to them.
John Lee
Well considering every review that has come out so far has mentioned the allegations I'm sure pitchfork will. Especially considering one of the song topics is literally rape
Ethan Bell
That's true, I suppose. It'll most likely get mentioned but I dunno if it'll affect the score or not.
Zachary Lewis
Plus, when they released "When Will I Return" the track didn't even get its own article. It was basically thrown at the bottom of the announcement of Thor & Friends. So I'm assuming the official site's stance on the issue (regardless of the individual writers opinions) is still pretty dicey
Jackson Foster
what's your twitter

here's the one without the typo:

>Tiny Mix Tapes was thrown into something of a behind-the-scenes tizzy last month when it emerged that Beyoncé, that unimpeachable icon of feminine empowerment and liberation, was making more than a few bucks out of female sweatshop labor in Sri Lanka. Given that we’d joined the rest of the Free World in praising her latest album to the hilt, this news caused something of a stir in our “office,” re-confronting us with the age-old question of whether we can or should divorce ourselves from the political and ethical ramifications of an artist’s life when appreciating their art.
>In Beyoncé’s case, this isn’t perhaps a difficult question to answer, if only because Bey had already brought politics and ethics into her work by using a narrative of (female/black) manumission to brand and sell it. That said, when it comes to Michael Gira and the accusation he faced in February of raping fellow musician Larkin Grimm, the case isn’t so clear-cut. This isn’t simply because, unlike Beyoncé, Gira hasn’t made a career on the back of an image that would be bluntly contradicted by his alleged evil, but because this evil is indeed still alleged. We are, therefore, at something of an impasse when it comes to approaching his band’s music through the prism of his private life, since any attempt to form a conception of Swans’ 14th album in terms of his concrete existence is confounded by the uncertainty and equivocation surrounding the moral worth of this existence. What’s more, it’s this uncertainty as much as anything else that reveals how dangerous the task of weighing a musician’s art against their ethics can be, even if our status as moral agents and political animals arguably impels us to uphold ethical standards at the same time as aesthetic ones.
what did they mean by this?
Daniel Clark
>We think it's impossible for us to approach Swan's music from the perspective of Michael Gira's personal life, since this rape allegation makes it too cloudy, and complicated.

a reviewer that can't separate the art from the artist shouldn't be a reviewer at all. that said, i don't think gira did anything wrong
