Stian Westerhus - Amputation

This album is ****ing incredible. A Scott Walker-esque take on art-pop that ranges from bizarre and disconcerting to beautiful to dark and abrasive. Check it out my people.

^^^^ Not Westerhus' best but still a solid one that folks should hear.

Swans – Deliquescence

Deliquescence is a 2CD live album recorded in 2016/17, documenting the final Swans tour of this configuration of the band. It shows the Swans live set generally as it stands now (though, as always, the set continues its transformation along the way as the tour progresses). It contains two (long) pieces that have never been, and never will be, recorded elsewhere. In addition it contains a lengthy, unfinished and discarded work in progress. As usual, the pre-existing material used in the live set is subject to constant revision/expansion. The performances were expertly (multi track and live mics) recorded and mixed, and this album and package serves as an excellent document of this mutually telepathic and fiercely exploratory version of Swans. The two concerts that provided the material for these recordings took place at Huxley’s, Berlin, and The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco. The artwork is drawn/designed by Michael Gira.

What would you say is his best? I'll be checking out more of his stuff today.

Not sure if it's the best one, but I like Pitch Black Star Spangled and his work with other folks
like the vocalist Sidsel Endresen (Bonita), Nils Petter Molvær (Baboon Moon),
or something prog-like from Jaga Jazzist (One-Armed Bandit). He gets around!
