The J2 album will be released March 18th, 2008 on THE END RECORDS.

About working with Broadrick, Jarboe says, "When I met Justin, he commented upon the impact and influence of Swans upon his music. We did a concert together in London in 2005 and began discussing working together. I had also been drawn to the unique energy of Jesu and so this was exciting to explore."

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.

Jarboe is currently recording her upcoming full-length in New York. About the new recording she says,"The 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 have returned 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."
