Swandy Releases New Album: Chalices
Swandy releases Chalices, an eclectic album based on the suit of Cups in Tarot. This album deals with the ethereal, the liminal space between dreams and reality and matters of the heart, as is what the suit is associated with. Chalices is a 14-track follow-up to The Throne Room, an album based on the major arcana which was released in 2021. Swandy is working on a collection of 78 songs to each represent one of the Tarot cards. Beyond enjoying the tracks as a listening experience, this project also serves the purpose of divination by shuffling the songs.
The Knight of Cups was the first single from the album, Chalices, which was released in 2022 as a precursor to the album launch on 21 March 2023.
Swandy is the nickname of Louise Eksteen, singer and producer of the electronic/alternative act from Johannesburg, South Africa. They have performed with the likes of Boo! and Bye Beneco.
