Influential experimental artist Jarboe, known for her years in Swans, will release her new album “Sightings” on 3 April 2026 via the Belgian label Consouling Sounds and support it with a UK and European tour in May 2026 alongside Thor Harris (ex-Swans, Shearwater) and Joy Von Spain (Eye of Nix).
The concerts present a trio line-up of Jarboe, Harris and Von Spain, with a live set built from Jarboe’s catalogue of industrial, experimental and atmospheric work. The shows will also feature the live debut of two ambient pieces from “Sightings”. “Sightings” has the elusive vireo bird as a central motif. The album follows 2020’s “A Tulpa” and features cover artwork based on a painting by Swans drummer Phil Puleo,.
Thor Harris, an Austin-based multi-instrumentalist, joins the tour after his years as Swans’ percussionist between 2010 and 2016 and earlier work with Shearwater, Bill Callahan and many others. Joy Von Spain, currently based in the Netherlands, contributes vocals, keys and composition.
The May dates include club shows and festival appearances across Scandinavia, the Baltics, Central Europe and the UK, opening in Copenhagen and closing at Outer Waves Festival in Liverpool.
