Angels of Light
Angels of Light The Angels of Light are an experimental folk-rock group that was formed circa 1998 by singer/guitarist Michael Gira after he disbanded Swans, the group he'd founded in 1982. The band has marked a distinctly different style for Gira since he left Swans, most noticeably being musically more melodic and less brutal than his previous efforts. The Angels of Light include many New York City collaborators, including Dana Schechter of Bee and Flower, Kid Congo Powers of The Cramps, Larry Mullins aka Toby Dammit, Bliss Blood of The Moonlighters, Thor Harris of Shearwater, and most recently the Brooklyn band Akron/Family as well as Berlin-based former Swans guitarist Christoph Hahn.

All Angels of Light albums have been released on Michael Gira's label Young God Records.
