About
"Cop" is the second studio album by American experimental rock band Swans. It was released in 1984, through record label K.422. On "Cop", Swans took the style of their previous LP, 1983's "Filth" and intensified it, utilising slower tempos, more tape loops and even more abrasive musical textures. The lyrics are again concerned with ambiguous themes like physical, often sexual domination and/or submission. According to Jarboe, who first met the band shortly after this album was recorded, the photograph on the cover is the profile of a morbidly obese woman. "Cop" was remastered by Michael Gira in 1992 for release on CD along with the "Young God" EP as bonus tracks. The 1999 double disc re-issue "Cop/Young God / Greed/Holy Money" combines "Cop" and "Young God" with the compilation "Greed / Holy Money" (itself compiled from the albums "Greed" and "Holy Money".) The packaging for all issues states that the recording is "designed to be played at maximum volume".
