Jesu is an experimental band formed in 2003 by Justin Broadrick following the breakup of Godflesh. Jesu was the name of the last song on the penultimate Godflesh release, Hymns.
Jesu's sound is heavily layered and textured, drawing from and incorporating an eclectic mix of influences, ranging from ambient music, drone doom, to shoegazing, downtempo and industrial music. Broadrick himself has made it known that he does not consider Jesu to fall into any of these categories and that he has been intentionally writing what he considers to be coherent and structured pop songs.
Biography
Jesu's first release, the Heart AcheEP, was released in 2004 and featured Broadrick performing all of the instruments and vocals alone. It was followed four months later by the full-length Jesu LP, which featured the addition of bassist Diarmuid Dalton and drummer Ted Parsons, although not every song features both members. A spring 2005 tour of Europe, in support of the album, featured Roderic Mounir of Knut filling in for Ted Parsons on drums.
Jesu is the first full-length album from Jesu, released by Hydra Head Records on December 8, 2004. 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. In February 2005, a double vinyl picture disc set was released by Hydra Head, limited to 1000 copies. The picture disc pressing contains an alternate, cleaner mix than the CD or standard LP editions.

From the Roadburn 2012 website:
Named after the last song on the final Godflesh release (Hymns), Jesu quickly got established as one of the seminal post-rock pioneers. Since the release of 2006's Silver EP, which gained comparisons to My Bloody Valentine or Slowdive, Broadrick's sound evolved further into pop and indie sounds, while maintaining the claustrophobic sonic density his work is renowned for.

the medicine is all we need
to keep us away and hidden
we can only see the sunset
we never see the sunrise

we're really quite alone
we're just a sitting target

the medicine is all we need

All the colours that we saw they touched us All the trails that they made we followed We can be just like all of the others We have to be just like all of the others All the spaces they made for us Are all filled up And they will deceive us and they will desert us But all our colours will always be with us And all our colours they will always be with us
