Jesu is the first full-length album by British experimental music band Jesu, released through Hydra Head Records on 8 December 2004.[6] Unlike the Heart Ache EP, where Justin Broadrick executed all instrumentation himself, this release features Ted Parsons on drums, Diarmuid Dalton on bass, and a guest appearance by Paul Neville on guitar on the track "Man/Woman". The album was released in Japan by Daymare Recordings and contains two additional instrumental remixes on a bonus disc.[6] In February 2005, a double vinyl picture disc set was released by Hydra Head, limited to 1000 copies.
In 2022, Broadrick described Tired of Me as "one of my most favorite songs I ever wrote" as it documented an extremely painful period in his life following the dissolution of Godflesh (the musical group he'd led since the 1980s) and the break-up of a long-time romantic relationship.[7]
