G Livelab, Yrjönkatu 3, 00120 Helsinki
Swan kertoo: "D/other oli työnimeltään ‘viimeinen levyni’. En uskonut näkeväni sen julkaisua itse. Se on rakkauskirje lapsilleni, elämälle ja myös niille naisille, jotka jo kulkivat samaa polkua jolla itse olen."
G Livelabissa Astrid Swan esiintyy yhtyeensä kanssa.

Singer-songwriter and writer Astrid Swan released her latest album "D/other" in November 2021 on Soliti Records. Swan’s songs draw from the American songbook of singer/songwriters, blending pop structures with a cold weather poetry of the North. Accompanying herself with piano she exists on the precipice of pop and art.
Here's how she describes the making of "D/other": "I set out to write about mothering, being a daughter and a mother. I was informed by the simultaneous research process for my PhD which investigates maternal life writing in blogs and memoirs. The title D/other comes from this research. It is a mother/daughter in digital form, and as a trans-affirmative concept which argues that mothering is done by anyone who cares. In the music I wanted to explore sleeping and dreaming as states of unconsciousness which connect us to each other, to those who are dead and that which is in the future."
