A Screw

A Screw is an EP by the New York No Wave band Swans. The EP was later reissued as additional tracks to the CD release of Holy Money. The single's title song shows the band diving their farthest into the realm of industrial dance music, complete with dubby, distorted vocals, and complex programmed rhythms, an interesting contrast to the naturalistic album version. The piano-driven ode to obsessive love "Blackmail", meanwhile, introduces Jarboe in her first turn as lead vocalist. A heavily reworked version of the track appeared on the 1987 album Children of God.
