In his words: "Raised By Swans is and always has been a solo project, not a band. That fact hasn't been made clear in the past, which is wholly my fault; well-meaning but misguided attempts at modesty and inclusion have clouded the truth. I'm honoured to have such gifted musicians alongside me onstage...but if someone else happens to play a part on an album of mine, for instance, they're playing a part I've written."[10] DiscographyStudio albums
Singles
Raised By Swans' first two full-length studio albums (Codes and Secret Longing, 2005, and No Ghostless Place, 2010) were recorded, mixed and mastered at Andy Magoffin's House of Miracles studio, then located in London, ON. The studio has since moved to Cambridge, ON.[13] Raised By Swans released the single 'Sightings'[14] on July 19, 2013, through Bandcamp exclusively.[15] The song was written and recorded by Howden following a trip to Berlin, Germany in 2012.[16] This was followed by his third studio album, Öxnadalur, in November 2014 and a double single Trains We Both Missed / Pale Blue Black Holes in September 2016. OtherRaised By Swans' song 'Violet Light' is featured in Douglas Coupland's film Everything's Gone Green.[17] Armenian-Canadian film director Atom Egoyan is a fan of Howden's music,[18] and has included his songs in two of his films. Three songs from Codes and Secret Longing are featured in Adoration (2008), and two songs from No Ghostless Place appear in Chloe (2010). The live version of the band, as it was in 2010, also plays itself in Chloe, performing sections of ‘We Were Never Young’ and ‘Longer Shadows, Shorter Days’ live at The Rivoli in Toronto, Ontario.[19] References1. ^{{cite web|author=Francis Notarangelo |url=http://altprogcore.blogspot.it/2013/12/intervista-con-eric-howden-raised-by.html |title=Intervista con Eric Howden (Raised by Swans) |publisher=altprogcore |date=2013-12-04 |accessdate=2014-01-13}} 2. ^{{cite web |author=Eric Howden |url=http://raisedbyswans.com/new/?p=634 |title=... |publisher=raisedbyswans.com |date=2012-10-22 |accessdate=2014-01-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202213329/http://raisedbyswans.com/new/?p=634 |archivedate=2014-02-02 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/raise |title=Raise | Define Raise at Dictionary.com |publisher=Dictionary.reference.com |date= |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.blogto.com/music/2009/12/raised_by_swans_on_dreams_and_nightmares/ |title=Raised By Swans on Dreams and Nightmares |publisher=Blogto.com |date=2009-12-10 |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 5. ^{{cite web|author=Josh |url=http://www.crackintheroad.com/music/393-5-minutes-with-raised-by-swans/ |title=Review & 5 Minutes With: Raised By Swans |publisher=Crack In The Road |date=2010-04-23 |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Persaud |first=Travis |url=http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/PopAndRock/Raised_By_Swans |title=Raised By Swans - No Ghostless Place • Pop & Rock Reviews • |publisher=Exclaim.ca |date=2011-05-10 |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 7. ^{{cite web |first=Terri |url=http://three.nxew.ca/2009/12/swans-in-flight.html |title=Swans in Flight |publisher=nxew.ca |date=2009-12-08 |accessdate=2013-10-24 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029194922/http://three.nxew.ca/2009/12/swans-in-flight.html |archivedate=2013-10-29 |df= }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://theparalleluniverse2008.blogspot.ca/2010/01/raised-by-swans-interview.html|title=Raised By Swans Interview (unedited)|accessdate=2-13-03-21 }} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://blogs.canoe.ca/brandnewblog/general/reaney-rawk-intvus-mmxvol-i-a-fascinating-qa-with-eric-howden-of-raised-by-swans/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2013-02-10 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130407140543/http://blogs.canoe.ca/brandnewblog/general/reaney-rawk-intvus-mmxvol-i-a-fascinating-qa-with-eric-howden-of-raised-by-swans/ |archivedate=2013-04-07 |df= }} 10. ^{{cite web|author=Francis Notarangelo |url=http://altprogcore.blogspot.it/2013/12/intervista-con-eric-howden-raised-by.html |title=Intervista con Eric Howden (Raised by Swans) |publisher=altprogcore |date=2013-12-04 |accessdate=2014-01-13}} 11. ^{{cite web|author=Eric Howden |url=http://raisedbyswans.com/?p=969 |title=... |publisher=raisedbyswans.com |date=2014-09-28 |accessdate=2014-10-03}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=https://raisedbyswans6.bandcamp.com/album/trains-we-both-missed-pale-blue-black-holes-7|title=trains we both missed / pale blue black holes (7"), by Raised By Swans|publisher=Raised By Swans|accessdate=2016-09-13}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetwominutemiracles.com/studio.htm |title=The House of Miracles |publisher=Thetwominutemiracles.com |date= |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 14. ^{{cite web|author=Eric Howden |url=http://www.raisedbyswans6.bandcamp.com/track/sightings |title=... | publisher=raised by swans |date=2013-07-19 |accessdate=2013-08-06}} 15. ^{{cite web|author=Eric Howden |url=http://www.raisedbyswans.com/new/?p=575 |title=... |publisher=raisedbyswans.com |date=2013-07-19 |accessdate=2013-08-06}} 16. ^{{cite web|author=Eric Howden |url=http://www.raisedbyswans.com/new/?p=556 |title=... |publisher=raisedbyswans.com |date=2013-07-12 |accessdate=2013-08-06}} 17. ^{{cite web |author=James Reaney - May 25, 2007 |url=http://blogs.canoe.ca/brandnewblog/general/everythings-gone-green-for-raised-by-swans/ |title=Everything’s Gone Green . . . for Raised by Swans « James’ Brand New Blog |publisher=Blogs.canoe.ca |date=2007-05-25 |accessdate=2012-03-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6AhP6bBIA?url=http://blogs.canoe.ca/brandnewblog/general/everythings-gone-green-for-raised-by-swans/ |archivedate=September 15, 2012 |df= }} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.toromagazine.com/features/talking-to/9a0fcd34-b821-ea64-7541-5ee34142ad95/Atom-Egoyan/index.html |title=Atom Egoyan | TALKING TO... | TORO MAGAZINE | What Men Need to Know about Sex, Style, Music, Sports, Drinks & Video |publisher=Toro Magazine |date= |accessdate=2012-03-19}} 19. ^CBC Radio 3 - New Music Canada - Artist - Raised by Swans External links
