The White Swan Black Swan double mini album contains two discs. The first features songs penned by White Swan, while the second features songs written by the Black Swan. It’s not two solo EPs/albums - but it’s not really one single band either.

Producer Mark Nevers mixed the double mini at the Beech House studios in Nashville USA. Mark is better know for his work with artists such as Lambchop, Calexico, the latest Bonnie Prince Billy, Andrew Bird and of course David Kilgour. The tracks for the double-mini were recorded at the nest-like Arch Hill Studios and the home of the Swans, snug among the trees at the base of an Auckland volcano.

There is also a new video for the song Super 8 Movie ...the video was made by Black Swan from a large collection 1960s and 1970s old home movies about people the Swans don't know.
