Bush Revisit 'Swallowed' For 30th Anniversary

Official Announcement | Published: Apr 30, 2026 2:46 PM EDT

(2b) Bush release a more intimate version of "Swallowed". First released on the landmark 1996 album Razorblade Suitcase, the track became a soundtrack to many people's lives.

Years of playing it live has, of course, reshaped the song for both the band and fans. This new version adds an extra layer of tenderness thanks to a choral ensemble.

Gavin on the release shares: "There's something about stripping a song all the way back to its DNA, the melody has all the power. I wanted 'Swallowed' to feel like a hymn."

The band is currently on their Land of Milk and Honey tour, with recent stops at Brooklyn Paramount and then Stagecoach this past weekend. The North American run continues through May 24, closing out at BottleRock Festival in Napa, California, before heading overseas for a European leg and then continuing to Australia in September.
