THE MEN ALBUM

 

SIX YEARS IN THE MAKING,  this massive double album of 20 songs features Blixa Bargeld, Steve Von Till, Edward KaSpel, David J, William Faith, Jim Thirlwell, Alan Sparhawk and many other notable artists.

” Epic both in length and in its recording, Jarboe’s six-year-in-the-making THE MEN ALBUM project features contributions from many of the Swans vocalist’s co-conspirators over the past two decades. Legendary Pink Dots’ Edward Ka-Spel, Einsturzende Neubaten and Bad Seeds member Blixa Bargeld, Jim Thirlwell, and Ministry’s Chris Connelly are among the extensive and stylistically varied roster of underground legends on offer here. Each brings his unique sonic vision to Jarboe’s probing, passionate voyage through the feminine psyche as seen through male eyes.”
