January 15, 2008

The End Records has posted the song "8mmsweetbitter" and artwork from the forthcoming "J2" album, featuring singer/songwriter/performer Jarboe and JESU frontman Justin K. Broadrick.

To hear the song, visit The End's official MySpace page. Check out the artwork at this location.

The "J2" album will be released on March 18.

Jarboe previously stated about the collaboration with Justin K. Broadrick and her upcoming full-length CD, "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, to be announced. 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 New York City East Village "art-rock" 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.
