Live Rope is the upcoming tenth live album by American experimental rock band Swans set to be released in November 2024 on Young God Records. It will be released in November 2024 on Young God. Released in full as a USB "credit card" as well as in edited forms on CD and vinyl, the album serves as a fundraiser for the upcoming seventeenth studio album.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Background

The vinyl and USB releases were limited to 1,000 and 1,300 copies respectively.

The album contains live recordings of songs from the band's previous two albums, Leaving Meaning and The Beggar, on the 2023 and 2024 tours, where both albums' material saw their live debuts. The album also features three new songs, "Rope/The Beggar", "Away", and "Birthing". The former, at 82 minutes, is the band's longest song to date by a significant margin, surpassing the 46-minute The Knot from their 2017 album Deliquescence. As a whole, at 183 minutes in length, the album is additionally to date the band's longest release, also exceeding Deliquescence at 155 minutes.^[1]

Live Rope consists of the entirety of the band's performance at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, New York City, on 18 May 2024 (lightly edited on the CD and vinyl releases), as well as previously released additional tracks (The Memorious, Cathedrals of Heaven, and Leaving Meaning) recorded at Amare, The Hague on 19 November 2023. Leaving Meaning, played initially as an introductory section for Birthing, additionally interpolates The Glowing Man from the 2016 album of the same name.^[1]
