Consouling Sounds announces remastered and reissued solo-debut ‘Skin Blood Women Roses’ by Jarboe, out April, 23th on Record Store Day.

Jarboe was a member of Swans at the time of its recording in 1986. The album was produced by Michael Gira and gives a testament to Jarboe’s skill of reinvention, the ability to reinterpret a classic song, and continual creative evolution.

Being released in the same year as Swans’ ‘Children of God’, it gives a nice insight into Jarboe’s universe.

The World of Skin was a project springing out of the American group Swans, which was a collaboration between the core Swans members Michael Gira and Jarboe. The project was initially called Skin, with the first two albums being released under that name, the last one being released under the name the ‘World of Skin’. ‘Blood, Women, Roses’ (1987) was the projects first release and featured vocals entirely by Jarboe, who had previously mainly been performing backing vocals. Many of the tracks on this album were covers of show tunes and other popular songs (for example ‘Cry Me a River’ and ‘The Man I Love’). This classic release has now been made available again for Record Store Day 2022. For fans of Swans, Michael Gira, Angels Of Light, Diamanda Galas.
