  • The Angels of Light were formed in 1998 after singer and guitarist Michael Gira disbanded his previous group, Swans. Their music is known for combining primarily acoustic instrumentation with sorrowful, intense vocals. PopMatters describes The Angels of Light as anything but peaceful, though they are capable of "beautiful serene calm" as on the latter tracks of their 2005 album The Angels of Light Sing "Other People".Pop Matters: The Angels of Light Sing "Other People" (March 24, 2005)
