Sightings - 2026 European Consouling Sounds Label Green Vinyl 6-track LP

“The vireo is heard yet not easy to be seen as he blends into the green leaves. This is the heart of this project. I recorded this lively vireo one summer. One day, no longer hiding, he was on a branch a few feet away, and he captivated me every morning as I listened to the thousands of variations of his songs. I felt much joy and love as he sang. Later in the summer, another vireo appeared, and the two of them went up into the sky. Vireo was gone for a while, and then one morning, when I was outside, he returned to the nearby tree and sang before he and his friend circled in the air and left to begin their long journey back to South America” “Sightings” is an eclectic journey that seamlessly weaves together electronic and organic instrumentation. True to Jarboe’s reputation as a "forward-thinking queen of unreality" (The Wire), the record features a wide range of musicians and soundscapes that transition from the dreamlike and ethereal to the aggressively experimental. From the variations of a bird’s song to immersive ambient pieces, the album is a testament to Jarboe’s “one-of-a-kind vocal talent”. The album includes collaborators Thor Harris (Swans, Shearwater, Bill Callahan, Thor & Friends), Andrea Calderon, Brett Robinson, Chiara Lee and Freddie Murphy.
