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.
