Norman Westberg - Milan (2025) [Hi-Res]

Milan is a live album by Norman Westberg, renowned guitarist of Swans, capturing the more fluid and atmospheric dimension of his solo work. Recorded during a tour supporting Swans, the multichannel performance conjures the memory of hearing Norman live for the first time. While his work with Swans is known for tectonic force and intensity, his solo concerts evoke something quieter—like a vast ocean shimmering under shifting light and wind.

This performance is a sonic expedition: porous yet connected, a living dialogue between artist, instrument, and effect chain. Rooted in composed structures, but guided by an improvisational curiosity, Milan invites unexpected discoveries to surface. It offers a performative, immersive experience—one that’s grounded yet exploratory. The album stands alone yet resonates with Westberg’s broader catalogue, offering new perspectives on familiar terrains.
