It will be no exaggeration to say that Jarboe's voice is one of the most recognisable in the world of experimental music. The vast majority of creative work explores the grim and sinister: she was a mainstay of the first incarnation of Swans for 14 years, and collaborated with the likes of Philip Anselmo, Attila Csihar, Blixa Bargeld, J.G. Thirlwell, Merzbow, Pan Sonic, Chris Connelly and Neurosis. In her turbulent career she has also been active as a performer or film and theatre actress. .
