West by Swan

A fun trivia fact about our new album No. 6 (and one of the coolest parts of the set up for Atomic Garden/Antisleep) is we were tracking it live in the main room the same weekend that Neurosis was mixing their new album in the control room, passing each other in the hallway and definitely filling the space with a solid old dudes with gray beards energy. At the time we had no idea they had a new record in the can but it was a fun reveal when it dropped and added a layer of lore to what was already an amazing experience at The Atomic Garden.

Protip: Do Cool S**t!

Looking forward to rocking with our buds this weekend at the 599 Fest. Schedules have dropped! The Outdoor Stage Sunday night in Chico is gonna be pretty rad

Happy to share No. 6, which as you might imagine is our sixth studio release. Recorded mostly live to tape over 2 days in Oakland with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden Recording Studio, the album is a mix of songs that we have been playing for years (including a rerecorded version of "Bent" from 2021's Cancellation EP) and songs that were only just taking final form when we went in to record them.With 2026 marking our 23rd year as a band, it feels good to birth something very new into the world that is still distinctly West by Swan.
