Jarboe (also known as the Living Jarboe) is an American singer, songwriter, and keyboardist who is a solo artist who came to prominence in the mid-1980s with the New York City-based group Swans. With founder Michael Gira, the duo was the core of Swans until the group broke up in 1998. She continues to release numerous solo albums and collaborations, and composed the soundtrack of a horror game titled The Path. Sputnik.

She brings with her Italian Father Murphy who are part of “Italian Occult Psychedelia” (Julian Cope). They have been described as the sound of the Catholic sense of Guilt.
A downward spiral aiming at the bottom of the hollow, and then digging even deeper.

Father Murphy over the years became one of the most mysterious and enigmatic musical entities coming out of Italy.
