Biography

Raised By Swans is Canadian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eric Howden. Fiercely independent in all aspects of his musical career, spanning five full-length albums and nearly 20 years thus far, Eric’s/Raised By Swans’ haunting, contemplative songs have been described as evoking “both mournful and triumphant emotions” (Exclaim!), drawn comparisons to Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós, and found their way into international film, including Academy Award and Palm d’Or nominated director Atom Egoyan’s Chloe (2010), starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. Raised By Swans Is The Name Of A Man, Volume 2: Run With The Silent Wildfires is the latest of the five albums Eric has written, arranged, performed and produced as Raised By Swans, all of which have been released on his own label, 1101; his past LPs are Codes and Secret Longing (2005), No Ghostless Place (2010), Öxnadalur (2014), and Raised By Swans Is The Name Of A Man, Volume 1 (2021). Eric records all of his songs first at home alone on a variety of old and malfunctioning equipment, but has recreated them for release at the House of Miracles studio in Cambridge, Ontario, with Andy Magoffin engineering and mastering, from the very beginning.
