“MUCH NEEDED THOUGHTS WRAPPED IN BLAZING AND CRISP BLUES AND PUNK-TINGED ROCK N ROLL.”- GLOBAL TEXAN CHRONICLES.

Black Swift's SEE ME HUMAN CD comes with a beautifully designed art magazine with artwork by Sally Grayson. Each song has a collage that is uniquely made to visualize the content of the song. The pages include the song lyrics, a short description of the background of each song, and in the centrefold of the magazine is a protest poster! Grab yours today while they are still available!

Black Swift continues to integrate diverse musical styles into their sound, with songs on “SEE ME HUMAN” ranging from post-punk to desert rock to psychedelic ballads. They travelled to Dresden to record at Castle Rohrsdorf, with Arno Jordan engineering. Gabriel Sullivan (XIXA, Giant Sand) from Dust & Stones Recording Studio in Tucson, AZ mixed the record.

Grayson explains the backdrop: “I believe what this world needs so desperately right now is for us to stop and really look at each other. To see the other person first as a fellow human being worthy of love and value, the same as us, and to listen to them: what is their story, their history, what motivates them to make the decisions they make?”

“These actions help break the cycles of racism, discrimination and violence. This process is the heart of many of the songs. I realize these are high ideals, and that music can’t immediately change the world, but I believe it can inspire people and be a catalyst for change.”

Black Swift’s lineup has changed over time, with Grayson as the steady songwriting core. “SEE ME HUMAN” features longtime member David Arzt (Jumbo Jet) on guitar, Bertram Oeler (Carver) on bass, and Zar Monta Cola (Warm Graves, The Hug, Jumbo Jet) back on drums.
