Description: Description: Tom Waits – Swordfishtrombones (2009 Europe Remastered 12” Vinyl LP Album Back to Black, Island 50 1959-2009. Includes a voucher to download MP3 version of the album. 180 gram vinyl remastered - Island Records – 0042284246910) Swordfishtrombones is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, released in 1983 on Island Records. It was the first album that Waits self-produced. Stylistically different from his previous albums, Swordfishtrombones moves away from conventional piano-based songwriting towards unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract and experimental rock approach. It is often considered the first in a loose trilogy that includes Rain Dogs and Franks Wild Years. Per The Guardian, "These are records of startling originality and playfulness, of cacophonous discord and sudden heartbreaking melody, in which it seemed the artist was trying to incorporate the whole history of American song into his loose-limbed poetic storytelling."
