The Glowing Man is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by American experimental band Swans, scheduled to be released on June 17, 2016 on Young God and Mute.[1][2]
The song "The World Looks Red/The World Looks Black" contains lyrics written by frontman Michael Gira that were used in the Sonic Youth song "The World Looks Red" in the album Confusion Is Sex. The music itself, however, is unrelated.[2] The title track has previously been referred to as "Black Hole Man"[3] and "Black-Eyed Man". On May 27, 2016, "When Will I Return?" was released as the first single from the album.
