BLACK SWAN LANE - Dead Souls Collide             (Wanderland/Eden) Guitarist/singer Jack Sobel’s Atlanta group came into their own several LPs ago, and it’s been all audacious knockouts since. BSL release annual albums that are epic in scope yet full of beautiful post-punk power, and DSC surpasses even 2022’s Blind or 2021’s Hide in View. Their kinship with ’80s Incredibles The Chameleons goes beyond two Chams playing on older BSL LPs, or Sobel drumming for offshoot The Sun and the Moon at their only,...

   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...

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...

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...
