    About this album

    The Use of Ashes is a striking 1970 album from Pearls Before Swine, the project led by songwriter Tom Rapp. Blending folk rock with psychedelic edges, the record sharpens the group’s unsettling mix of beauty, satire and quiet despair into one of their most memorable statements. Its songs move between delicate acoustic arrangements and bleak, surreal imagery, with moments like “The Jeweler” and “God Save the Child” showing Rapp’s gift for turning fragile melodies into something uneasy and lasting. As part of the early-1970s American underground, the album helped cement Pearls Before Swine’s reputation for singular, uncompromising songwriting.
