Jarboe - Disburden Disciple - DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD COLOURED

Recorded in both Israel and the United States, the songs on ‘Disburden Disciple’ express themes of longing and romance (FORBID) as well as metaphorical dismemberment (DEAR 666) , scars (SCARIFICATION), and resuscitation (KISS OF LIFE), the victim of passion, the dangerous love affair (SCORPION), the death bed of a lover (FORGIVE), the death of a loved one from disease set to maniacal piano (UNDER), the false accusation of a murder and the haunting of a spirit who calls from the deep (THE SÉANCE), and the sounds of rolling tanks and drums as backdrop of the war of the heart: “I want to teach you love. I want to touch the pure war inside you“ (PURE WAR).

The album begins with a list of things “free from” – in a stylistic groove that merges to 70’s rock (BOUND) yet the chorus reaffirms not being free at all – from love.”
