The End Records Signs Collaboration: J2
11/20/2007
By: Patrick Steven Patterson
The End Records has signed the new project entitled: J2, featuring enigmatic
singer/songwriter/performer Jarboe and Justin K Broadrick, frontman for
ambient/progressive noise project Jesu.
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 UK grind band Napalm Death at the age of
15, formed the influential metal/industrial act Godflesh in the late-80s and in 2003 started
up his current band Jesu.
"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."
The J2 album will be released in the spring of 2008 on The End Records.
