Jarboe comments, "The "J2" (chosen because of the symbol's meaning : current density, electrical/ thermal energy, Justin/Jarboe) six song EP with Justin K Broadrick can be considered the entry into the forthcoming larger denser work, which is a full length album exploration into total sound over the parameters of  traditional song structure.



This approach has been referred to as the "wall of sound" and in this case, I will also utilize my numerous voices as an instrument coloring the audio texture. For this album, I am returning to New York and have enlisted Swans alumni (and currently of the Unsane) Vinny Signorelli,  and engineer Colin Marston (of the recent "sonic field" collaboration cd entitled : Byla and Jarboe), and other intense musicians.The instrumentation will feature organ, piano, many guitars, bass, drums, and unique " field recordings" from my personal collection. There will also be special guests on the album, TBA.

Thematically, the material reflects what may be interpreted as an ongoing interest in mysticism, the human condition, perhaps the war of the heart."

Jarboe is known for her 14 years work with the legendary NYC East Village ArtRock band Swans,as well as her recent musical collaborations with such bands as Jesu, Neurosis and A Perfect Circle. Broadrick, who joined pioneering U.K. grind band Napalm Death at the age of 15, formed the influential metal/industrial act Godlflesh in the late-80s and in 2003 started up his current band Jesu.

The J2 album will be released in the spring of 2008 on THE END RECORDS.
