THE BIG TAKE-OVER MAGAZINE FALL 2022

Posted by: Jack    Tags:  Alternative Music, BLACK SWAN LANE, Indie, Jack Rabid, Jack Sobel, The Big Take-Over Magazine, wanderland music publishing    Posted date:  January 9, 2023  |  No comment


   black swan lane - blind             (Wanderland/Eden) Atlanta guitarist/singer/leader Jack Sobel has metamorphosized from a talented songwriter into something of a simmering solo genius. This is his/their 10th LP the public has way too little awareness of, and recent efforts have proved particularly remarkable excursions into his deep end of the moody/broody-yet-beautiful post-punk pool. BSL’s bearings don’t change, as they spin another decidedly gray but not gloomy, glistening-guitar-centric, atmospheric...

SCREAM FOR ME

  [Atlanta, Ga] - Wanderland Music Publishing and Black Swan Lane are excited to announce the release of their new digital single, Scream For Me. On April 26th, the release will be available everywhere in the world.  Scream For Me was written over a period of two years. The track was intended to be on our November, 2019 full length album, Vita Eterna, but we felt the mastered track needed some more work and we are happy we held it back. It is now ready for the world. The song is seductive, melancholic, powerful and atypical but has all the elements of a Black Swan Lane song you would...

Habitually Early... If you know me, I am never late and I'm never on time. I am typically very early to any engagement. I hate waiting, I'm impatient and I hate to be kept waiting for no reason. Surprise! Our original full release date was November 26th, however, we finished early (due to some help from some incredibly talented individuals) and I am happy to say Vita Eterna is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, etc... We are still packaging the physical cds which are being mailed around the planet and are available at:  https://blackswanlane.com/store/ (CDS purchased on our official...

Dear Swans - We are very happy to announce that we have secured our Fall 2019 album cover and name. In addition to recording the album, we have been looking through thousands of photos for the perfect picture and it all came together this week. There is a huge Italian influence that runs throughout the album and it made sense to go back to our great friend in Italy, Andrea Gottardi, who also contributed the cover for a moment of happiness, our 6th release and my personal favorite. Alessandro Dematteis, a co-writer on the album is contributing the back cover which is still in progress. We were...

Rush To Find (You’re Mine) Alt Version

Posted by: Jack    Tags:  atlanta, BLACK SWAN LANE, eden records group, Jack Sobel, John Kolbeck, wanderland music publishing, wanderland studios    Posted date:  March 1, 2018  |  7 Comments


Here's yet another track that was eliminated from our album, even though there was some popular demand for it to stay. Sorry, Marco and Kitty! And, get well Mad Max. I've completely remixed this one with an extended hard ending after an acoustic start. I've added some additional acoustics, one being our trademark Nashville Tuning acoustic that John turned me on to during Things You Know And Love. Rush To Find, in actuality, has been now cut from 7 records. The sad part is... I really like this version. Ha!  CRANK UP YOUR HEADPHONES AT THE END. If you are playing this through your phone...

02 01 18 BLACK SWAN LANE  - REVENGE (UNMASTERED ACOUSTIC MIX) There was recently a poll on facebook on which BLACK SWAN LANE songs you would like an acoustic mix of, so by popular demand, here you go. The poll was on a new BLACK SWAN LANE facebook fan page called BLACK SWAN LANE RELAX AND BREATHE which is run by Alessandro De Matteis in Italy and Terry McGarry in England. Thanks guys! It took an entire day in the studio to complete this edited version which has several changes as well. I'm enjoying turning some of these into acoustic versions which is bringing out a lot of our picking...

http://www.sicmagazine.net/12209/black-swan-lane-under-my-fallen-sky/ Coming in from the cold.  Black Swan Lane return with their first long-player since 2014 and it has been a challenge for some fans to keep a lid on expectations. We’re talking Blade Runner 2049 levels of anticipation here. Would such feverish echelons be met? Read on, but if you just want the three word review:_ BUY THIS RECORD. Black Swan Lane have always explored the boundaries between shoegaze, dreampop and post-punk. Along the way they’ve drawn comparison with some of Manchester’s most...
