Commenting on the overarching meaning behind the title, JARBOE states, “‘Illusory’ is a Buddhist way regarding the illusion of the self / illusion of perception of reality.”
 
Illusory is the next chapter in JARBOE’s storied and long-praised career, which began with the groundbreaking experimental rock band SWANS in the 80’s/90’s and has since continued with over 30 solo records and countless collaborations including records/contributions to Neurosis, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Jesu and A Storm of Light among others. Her cherished catalog of music has become a wellspring of inspiration for a generation of musicians, while her endless wealth of creativity continues to evolve and push the realms of conventional music, astounding listeners each step of the way.
 
With Illusory, JARBOE bewitches her audience with haunting vocals as her constant forward-thinking approach makes it feel like traveling through uncharted territory, where her siren-like voice leads the way. Or perhaps, as the dark and brooding nature of the album captivates you, will lead you astray.
