White Light from the Mouth of Infinity is the seventh album by the American experimental rock band Swans.[3][4] It was released in 1991, through the record label Young God. The band supported the album with a North American tour.[5]
The Los Angeles Times wrote that Michael Gira's "search for heaven and hell—in both mind and body—continues on its fascinating, sometimes harrowing way."[7]
AllMusic described the album as "stunning" and a "clear starting point for the second half of Swans' unique career."[6]
