This review is from: Thirteen Masks (Audio CD)
Now enhanced by three additional tracks, Thirteen Masks contains an impressive mix of musical styles showcasing the many moods of Jarboe, one time female vocalist of the remarkable Swans and World Of Skin. The sinister cover art, thirteen facial expressions, some hideously contorted, reflects the theme of multiple personalities and serves as a warning of the disturbing music.
The first track, Listen, is a piece of ethereal pop with chiming bells and xylophones. Red is a pounding techno-industrial dance number listing a dizzying number of red images where Jarboe's voice is at times distorted by a vocoder. A Man Of Hate is an eerie ballad with strange whispers whilst The Believers is a spacey ballad with a funky rhythm and The Lonely Voyeur is a deceptively gentle ballad. Wooden Idols is a jazzy number with breathy vocals and is followed by Shotgun Road (Redemption), an exquisite torch song and I Got A Gun, a dissonant blend of spacey vocals, heavy drums and electric guitar. I love the folky song Of Ancient Memory (The Oblivion Seekers) with its lilting melody and weird vocal mix. Freedom has the same sound as I Got A Gun, whilst the oneiric ballad Cries For Spider has the most chilling imagery. Overall, the complex and arty arrangements remind me of Jarboe's work with Beautiful People Limited. Thirteen Masks may not automatically appeal to fans of Swans.
