Jarboe readies new album 'Illusory,' shares the title track
Former Swans member Jarboe, who has collaborated with Neurosis, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Jesu, Father Murphy and more over the years, will release Illusory — her 33rd solo album — on April 16 via Consouling Sounds. That’s the cover art, above. “‘Illusory’ is a Buddhist way regarding the illusion of the self / illusion of perception of reality,” notes Jarboe, explaining the overarching themes of the record. The title track is brittle and beautiful, little more than piano, mellotron and her gorgeous voice. You can listen to that below.
Jarboe has European and UK tour dates starting in April. Those are listed, along with the album’s tracklist, below.
Illusory tracklist:
1. illusory
2. arrival

4. flight
5. into the arms of sleep
