Few artists ever seek to completely re-invent themselves on record, and fewer still make the transformation as completely successfully as did Tom Waits. His 70's albums are revered for their delicate, string-laden piano work with Waits croaking out lyrical strands of bar stool philosophizing in a pseudo-Louis Armstrong growl. These albums are good, strong efforts, but they had become somewhat predictable by the time of 1980's Heart Attack & Vine (although that album, and it's predecessor, Blue Valentine, had started to introduce new elements into Waits's music.) Swordfishtrombones, then, was a complete re-invention. Out go the strings and piano work (almost entirely in the case of the former, much less overt in the case of the latter), out go to late night bar-obsessed Beat poetry of the lyrics, out goes the Louis Armstrong growl. This album, instead, featured light, sparse, percussion-driven arrangements, with chugging basslines and occasional freakish burts of kaleidoscopic guitar. Lyrically, it was still drenched in weirdness, but moreso than ever - Waits's tales range from the insane poetry that would come to dominate his next album, Rain Dogs (Underground, Shore Leave), to his other typical 80's style song that he still leans on heavily in concert when he plays (16 Shells, Down, Down, Down), to the outright bizzarre and hilarous (Frank's Wild Years, In The Neighborhood.) We also see his vocals take on a more Howlin' Wolf-esque leaning - one critic described the album as sounding like "The Three Penny Opera as sung by Howlin' Wolf." Although this was the prototype for all the rest of his albums since it, it can be a bit hard to get used to (not that all of his albums aren't), if you are used to his earlier efforts. But, like any great album, it takes some time to grow on you. After several listens, you will come to appreciate that this is an album of unique genius. Rain Dogs would be the apex of this era of Tom's songwriting, and his masterpiece may indeed have come in 1992 with Bone Machine, but Swordfishtrombones is a brave, admirable total re-invention the likes of which we almost never see. It's an essential Waits album.

 A SONIC WORK OF ART. This Limited Edition gem.

Tom Waits RECENT ISSUE Swordfishtrombones 180 GRAM LP

Chris Blackwell founded Island Records in 1959 and began introducing the world to Reggae. 50 years later Island has continuously been on the cutting edge of music bringing us so many influential artists!

Celebrate 50 incredible years with this special edition vinyl reissue from the Island vault.

"Swordfishtrombones" was highly successful critically and was also the album which finally brought Tom Waits commercial success in the UK. The album itself was a radical departure for Tom who opted for a much more percussive sound which was based around marimbas, wood blocks and many changing rhythm patterns which together with his unique vocal style and characteristic lyrics combined to produce a classic. This was his debut album for Island Records and together with his next two albums - "Rain Dogs" and ""Frank's Wild Years" - formed a critically successful trilogy of great albums which marked the zenith of Tom's career.
