Live Rope

Uncommon card · No. 168625

Live Rope (stylized in all-caps) is the tenth live album by American experimental rock band Swans. Released in full in 2024 as a USB "credit card" as well as in edited forms on CD and vinyl, the album served as a fundraiser for the seventeenth studio album Birthing and was their first live album since 2017's Deliquescence. The album comprises recordings from the band's tour supporting their previous album The Beggar, which took place from May 2023 to May 2024, and contains transformed material from that album as well as Leaving Meaning and Birthing. Unlike previous fundraiser albums (with the exception of We Rose from Your Bed with the Sun in Our Head), which were released in limited quantities, the regular CD version of Live Rope was eventually announced to be made available perpetually as a live album in its own right. The vinyl and USB releases were limited to 1,000 and 1,300 copies respectively. The album was made available on streaming platforms on April 22nd, 2026.
