Jarboe described herself as "obsessed" with Swans since hearing their first album, Filth (1983). She came into contact with Michael Gira and attended the band's practice sessions before, after several auditions, joining as a vocalist and keyboardist and debuting on Greed(1986). Prior to Swans, Jarboe's musical background had consisted of training as a jazz and choral vocalist.
