Experience the definitive turning point in Tom Waits’ storied career.
Released in 1983 as his Island Records debut, Swordfishtrombones marked a radical departure from the singer-songwriter's earlier Asylum years. By taking the production reins himself, Waits tore up the musical rulebook, trading traditional arrangements for a "junk yard orchestra" of industrial and household objects. The result is a raw, experimental masterpiece that remains as challenging and soul-stirring today as it was 40 years ago.
This essential remaster brings renewed clarity to an album noted for its atmospheric grit and lyrical brilliance. Whether it’s the primitive, pounding rhythms of "Underground," the haunting narrative of "Shore Leave," or the delicate resolution of "Rainbirds," this record serves as the foundation for the legendary trilogy that includes Rain Dogs and Frank’s Wild Years.
