Jarboe is known for her 14 years work with the legendary NYC East Village ArtRock band Swans, Â
 as well as her recent musical collaborations with such bands as Jesu, Neurosis and A Perfect Circle. Broadrick, Â
 who joined pioneering U.K. grind band Napalm Death at the age of 15, formed the influential Â
 metal/industrial act Godlflesh in the late-80s and in 2003 started up his current band Jesu.Â
About working with Broadrick, Jarboe says, “When I met Justin, he commented upon the impact and influence ofÂ
Swans upon his music. We did a concert together in London in 2005 and began discussing working together.Â
I had also been drawn to the unique energy of Jesu and so this was exciting to explore.”

 What the press are saying…Â
Â
“…the pairing of the two really couldn’t be more fitting…a constant give and take of Broadrick’s discordant Â
 notes and Jarboe’s angelic vocals…a spellbinding tug-of-war between the sacred and the profane…” – DECIBELÂ
 “Broadrick and Jarboe possess an uncanny ability to imbue dissociative soundscapes with a kind of naked, Â
 yearning humanity and emotion….J2 feels like the beginning of something tentative and graceful.” – TERRORIZER  “J2 is a true marriage of extremes…Never less than mesmerizing, the album plucks heartstrings and Â
 strokes the nerves to awful splendor. A masterful work.” — METAL MANIACS
“…the pairing of the two really couldn’t be more fitting…a constant give and take of Broadrick’s discordant notes Â

 but without resting on cliche or the expectd.” – METAL EDGE Â
 “…a thing of beauty in a dark and unrelenting way…J2 is a perfect example of when everything is Â
