Swordfishtrombones was the start of a new artistic era for the acclaimed singer-songwriter Tom Waits, who both wrote and produced the now timeless album, his first for Island Records.

Swordfishtrombones ushered in a new and critically-acclaimed musical era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, his wife, Kathleen Brennan. Waits went from ‘70's-era "bluesy, boozy" wordsmith and melodist with seven albums behind him to sound sculptor, miner of the subconscious, abstract orchestrator, sonic cubist-while retaining his innate lyricism, melodic invention, and humanity.
