All fires have to burn alive, to live

From a review of Beast Moans, the first album from Swan Lake:

-----
The lazy-susan approach to antic and mellow tones, the blend of trad-strumming with a panicked, not-altogether-Western approach to guitar, the shifts from church organs to carnival organs, and the unpredictable percussion combine to suggest that with Beast Moans, these yelpy brainiacs have cornered their collective animal. The album's thesislessness and almost-annoying beauty earn spittoonfuls of odd gratitude.
-----

Hell yes!
