American singer and composer, best known as a longtime vocalist associated with the Swans and for a diverse solo career that mixes experimental, industrial, gothic and singer-songwriter elements.

Former member/collaborator of the Swans; life/creative partner Michael Gira is mentioned in reviews. Reviews and the works list document collaborations with Jim Thirlwell, Blixa Bargeld, Edward Ka-spel and the band Neurosis. Thirteen Masks is cited as her solo debut (released in 1992 in the review); The Men Album is described in a review as a double album released in October 2005.

DeBaser reviews present Jarboe as an experimental, genre-blending artist and former Swans vocalist. Reviews highlight her solo debut Thirteen Masks, the collaborative double The Men Album, and the dark intensity of Anhedoniac. Critics praise her charisma and adventurousness while noting vocal limitations compared to certain peers.

For:Fans of experimental, industrial, gothic and alternative music; readers of DeBaser and those interested in Swans-related projects.

 Listening to Jarboe's solo debut, one gets the impression that with this work, the muse of the Swans wanted to give free expression to all those impulses that she wasn't able to unleash within the main band.
