The band has marked a distinctly different style for Gira since he left Swans, most noticeably being musically more melodic and less brutal than his previous efforts. Before the band was formed, Gira intended to call his post-Swans acoustic/song-based project The Pleasure Seekers. This name was discarded because there had been a group with the same name in the 1960s. The first two live performances of what would become the Angels of Light (the Tonic/Bowery Ballroom benefit shows) were billed as "Michael Gira with guests". Angels of Light include many New York City collaborators, including Dana Schechter of Bee and Flower, Kid Congo Powers of The Cramps, Larry Mullins (aka Toby Dammit), Cassis Birgit Staudt of b-blush, Bliss Blood of The Moonlighters, Thor Harris of Shearwater, and most recently the Brooklyn band Akron/Family as well as Berlin-based Swans guitarist Christoph Hahn and freak-folk musician Devendra Banhart. Thomas Dodd played the Celtic harp in the album New Mother.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brainwashed.com/weddle/reviews/mother.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://younggodrecords.com/products/new-mother )〕 All Angels of Light albums have been released on Michael Gira's label Young God Records. ==Discography== ;Studio albums * ''New Mother'' (1999) * ''How I Loved You'' (2001) * ''Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home'' (2003) * ''The Angels of Light Sing 'Other People''' (2005) * ''Akron/Family & Angels of Light'' (2005) - split album with Akron/Family. * ''We Are Him'' (2007) ;Live albums * ''We Were Alive!''
