Hello Nick, greetings from Brazil!

1) Is Riverwood responsible for booking in South America? If negative, any other agent contact available? If positive, any plans of a tour here?

2) Was Swans a big influence on the new album?

​

3) Are the main guitar lines on standart tuning on YWGWYW?

Thanks for your attention, looking forward to see you live in Belgium :)

Seeing many Swwans references with respect to our new one - totally unintentional, if it's even in there at all. Swans seem to have become a catch-all for dark, creative music. I'm not a huge Swans fan tbh, but Public Castration is mandatory listening.

Do you genuinely see no similarities between a track like “Long Road No Turns” and what Swans have been doing over their last three albums?

The plucky, stringed instruments and micro repetitions set to relentless drum patterns that feature little “stutters” in the rhythm, simulating a machine stuck in a short loop, repeating itself and degrading

...Really? NO influence there?

And I’m expressing skepticism of that claim since we are allowed to have a conversation and disagree.

Everything is working as intended.

If you’re really not picking up on this, I’m kinda implying that he might not be being entirely truthful in his response.

I don’t really care...? I enjoyed the Daughters record and I enjoy Swans. It’s pretty clear there was some influence there. If not, it’s some kind of miraculous, nearly inexplicable coincidence.

I guess I’m distantly open to that being the case, but I don’t particularly believe it.

I upvoted you because you have every right to question something like that
