JESU - 'Pale Sketches' LTD ALBUM OF UNRELEASED MATERIAL - AVAILABLE NOW FROM NEW WEBSHOP !
Justin K Broadrick has restarted his web label Avalanche Recordings which he originally began in 2000 with the limited CDR issue of the then unreleased Godflesh EP 'Messiah'. The label quietly resurfaced recently with the highly limited release of four FINAL improvised and hand numbered CDR's, which were to be sold as limited editions at Broadrick related concerts.
Avalanche Recordings now presents its first full release in the form of 'Pale Sketches' limited to 2000 copies only on CD, an album compiling unreleased Jesu material containing some songs culled from even before the full conceptual realisation of the project. It is a compilation of Jesu songs that Broadrick felt did'nt fit with previous Jesu releases, so he chose to mix these songs this year and compile them for their own release. Available to buy now on pre-order and shipping in early October, the CD is housed in a full colour 6 panel digipak and contains 8 songs, 4 of which are instrumental, song 4 'The Playgrounds Are Empty' can be heard over at the official Jesu myspace site within the next 24 hours...
In January 2008 'Pale Sketches' will also be available from the Avalanche Store on 180 grm double vinyl, along with the long awaited vinyl version of the first Jesu release 'Heart Ache' and a new FINAL studio album on picture disc only. These items will be available to buy on pre-order in January 2008 and shipping in late February.
Please visit the Avalanche Store HERE
and scan down the Avalanche Recs catalogue until you reach 'Pale Sketches' which can be purchased immediately.
All Avalanche Recordings releases are available ONLY from the Avalanche Store or from selected Justin K Broadrick related concerts, albeit in an extremely limited quantity.

ALL SOLD OUT AT SOURCE.
from the Temporary Residence website -
"For the second installment in the collaborative series of split albums between Temporary Residence Ltd. and Hydra Head Records, we find a match made in heaven with the ethereal, grandiose dirge-pop of Jesu splitting sides with stately, deserted majesty of Eluvium. Already fans of each other¹s music, the two artists sought to compliment each other and in the process stretched their individual sounds to their outermost limits. Jesu shoots for the moon with a trio of fuzzed-out tunes that owes more to first-wave British shoegaze groups like Swervedriver and Ride than Broadrick's own roots in Godflesh and Napalm Death. It's a beautiful and brilliant evolution in Jesu's already accomplished career. Eluvium aims for the heart of the sun with his magnum opus, a three-part collaboration with Jeremy deVine that stretches Eluvium's contemplative drones to a staggering twenty-one minutes, in which time the song transforms from a lonely rattle to a seismic, swirling storm of sound that grinds the piece to haunting quiet. As with all records in this series, this is strictly limited to 4,000 copies - 2,000 Hydra Head versions and 2,000 Temporary Residence Ltd. versions. The music and the artwork is the same on all copies, but the vinyl colors, label colors, and outer sticker colors will vary. We live to comfort you with our music, and confound you with our methods."

jesu 'Sundown'/'Sunrise' and 'Conqueror' on Vinyl
The vinyl LP only version of 'Sundown'/'Sunrise' on Aurora Borealis, the songs that are only available elsewhere on the Japanese deluxe double CD edition of 'Conqueror' (Hydra Head have a limited quantity of these in their store, direct link to the item here - Hydra Head Conqueror Import), is released on April 30th '07. This has been on presale less than a week and the first pressing is sold out already, the 2nd and final pressing is in the works and will be presold on the 17th May.
you can purchase here -
Aurora Borealis
Southern Records
from the Southern Records website (the distributor for this release) -
"We have now SOLD OUT of the first pressing of this title. (Limited edition of 900 on grey/clear mix vinyl and 300 on yellow/clear mix.) We are now taking pre-orders for the second pressing (colour yet to be determined) which we expect to be available around 17 May.
Never one to rest on previous innovations, Justin Broadrick has been forging ahead once again, marrying his trademark bass-heavy riffs with an almost Phil Spector-ish pop sensibility creating anthems of melancholic euphoria.
Half buried clean singing collides with speaker rattling low end, blissed out humming resonance and machine beats to create an otherworldly ghost pop, as beautiful as it is unsettling.
The Sundown/Sunrise EP picks up where 2006's Silver EP left off, this time taking two songs and stretching them out over 32 minutes, mixing the bittersweet melody with huge swathes of oceanic drone and minimilist electronica - this is by far the most accomplished and ambitious that Jesu have sounded to date. "
Tracklisting:
01. Sundown
02. Sunrise
Total Running Time: 32:44

Jesu have permits, U.S tour begins....
JESU HAVE PERMITS - U.S TOUR BEGINS MARCH 14THADDENDUM, 11TH MARCH - THE U.S EMBASSY HAVE SENT OUT THE WORK PERMITS TO JESU LATE, THEY WILL NOT HAVE THEM UNTIL MON. OR TUES. GURANTEED LATEST, CONSEQUENTLY DC & PHILLY WILL NOT FEATURE JESU, FIRST JESU SHOW NOW NYC. SORRY FOR THE CONTINUED RIDICULOUSNESS.
The impending permits/visas finally cleared for Jesu this week ; the unforeseen backlog at the U.S embassy in London had somewhat reduced enabling the band to be interviewed and be issued their work permits/visas.
This means that Jesu will perform its first live show in the U.S this Wednesday, March 14th in NYC at Irving Plaza and will complete the rest of the tour with ISIS from there on in, performing at the Hydra Head Showcase at SXSW, Austin, Texas on the 15th March along the way.
Many thanks for your patience and huge apologies to those that missed Jesu at earlier shows due to these unforeseen circumstances. A Jesu headline tour of the U.S over the next 9 - 12 months will hopefully compensate somewhat, especially since Jesu now have permits/visas for 12 months !
Also thank you for all the kind words and messages we have received, we wish we could reply to them all....
Thank you and hope to see you,
Jesu / Jkb

BAD NEWS REGARDING START OF U.S TOUR
We are sorry to report that Jesu are still stuck in England and will NOT be playing the Spaceland, L.A headline/release party ; work permits for Jesu have still not been cleared by U.S officials/customs and the band are not allowed into the U.S until the permits are officially cleared. The band are yet to receive a date of clearance and simply have to wait until they do so before entering the U.S, hence Jesu will not be appearing at any shows with ISIS until the permits are available and Jesu can leave England.Please watch this space for further news ; once Jesu have their permits we will post confirmation of this and the first show that Jesu will play in the U.S.
Hopefully the band will not miss more than the first week of this tour, being the bands first tour of the U.S.
In related Jesu live line up news, Jesu bass player Diarmuid Dalton will not be playing any of the U.S dates due to being refused a work permit for the U.S for this tour.
Diarmuid has been replaced for this tour by long time collaborator (and fellow Birmingham, England native) bass player Dave Cochrane (Justin and Dave played together in Head Of David, Sweet Tooth, Ice, God and now their new project together GREY MACHINE).
Drummer Ted Parsons has also been unable to make this first Jesu U.S tour due to family commitments and has been replaced by drummer Danny Walker, a Los Angeles native who plays for many bands including Intronaut.
Thank you

JESU + FINAL - Zoobar, Rome, It, 17th Nov 2005
Jesu played its first full show with Ted Parsons in Rome on 17th Nov, predictably without any decent amount of sleep beforehand, due to early flights. We often wonder what it would be like to play a show with good sleep. I played as Final at this show too, playing the same set as I did at the Jarboe show.
We were not as rehearsed as we would've liked but the show went well all the same. This was the first time we had played 'Walk On Water' live. The rest of the set was 'Your Path To Divinity (extended)', 'Friends Are Evil', 'Tired Of Me' and 'Guardian Angel'. The promoters for this show were from Radio Città Aperta, and we would like to add that they treated us so so well.

Final - live supporting The Living Jarboe Nov 7th 2005
Jesu originally was requested by Jarboe to perform at this show but logistically it just could not happen. Final seemed the next obvious choice. This was my first 'show' as Final in 20 years !
The last time Final played live was an extremely confused performance in Birmingham in May 1985, probably in front of 12 people.
This night at the Scala, Kings Cross, London was extremely different to say the least. I performed with just a laptop, manipulating existing songs, most of which were culled from '3', I played even newer forthcoming material too, along with song 3 from '2'. Diarmuid Dalton took care of the out front sound ensuring that it was as loud and full as we could possibly get it.
The Living Jarboe was amazing ; the performance from Jarboe and her band was quite incredible. Jarboe had requested if I could take care of their live sound out front and add dynamics from the mixing desk and generally feel free with their sound.

Final - '3' front sleeve
Here is the front sleeve of the long awaited Final - '3'. This 2 x CD set will be released by Neurot Recordings in late Feb 2006, apparently there isn't anything that could delay this release any further !
Nearly 5 years in the making and with over 140 minutes of material, '3' generally focuses upon fractured and submerged melodies some structured some free, the guitar was the basis for around 60% of the music on '3'. The release has 27 pieces mostly quite short in length in comparison to earlier Final works, each CD contains one 15 minute plus piece, both of which were composed with Jesu bassist Diarmuid Dalton, Diarmuid also collaborates on an additional three pieces on the double set. The Final website has one piece from the CD set - 'Little Pictures', in mp3 format available for download, along with an unreleased and exclusive outtake ('Failure') that didn't make '3' but was remixed after '3' was completed, this piece is not available anywhere else, and will not be available anywhere else.
