Jane Inc.<\/a> began as both a product of lockdowns and a statement of liberation. The pandemic-spawned project has allowed its CEO \u2014Toronto-based artist Carlyn Bezic\u2014to present a more stylistically promiscuous, lyrically provocative identity separate from her collaborative pursuits in the U.S. Girls universe<\/a>, reinventing this seasoned indie axe-slinger as an all-seeing art-pop auteur equally enamored with electro-disco and bossa nova, like a DIY Madonna<\/a> who never left the Danceteria. But the euphoric feeling of self-discovery captured on Jane Inc.\u2019s first two albums\u2014 2021\u2019s Number One<\/a> and 2022\u2019s Faster Than I Can Take<\/a>\u2014was offset by anxieties over the horrors outside her window and life in their aftermath. \u201cI can\u2019t square the calm\/And the eerie feeling of a world on pause,\u201d Bezic sang on the latter album\u2019s title track, \u201cWith my heart sprinting in my chest\/ Trying to guess what’s next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jane Inc.\u2019s third album, A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH, begins in a similar state: \u201cMy heart\u2019s beating out of my chest,\u201d she repeats on the opening track, though in this case, the death she\u2019s contemplating is her own. In April 2023, Bezic was on tour with U.S. Girls<\/a> when her band\u2019s van broke down on a Massachusetts freeway. While they were waiting on the side of the road for a tow truck, a semi crashed into their vehicle. Fortunately, everyone walked away from the accident, but it proved to be the opening chapter to a tumultuous year for Belzic that saw the end of a decade-long relationship and a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous growth from her vocal cord.<\/p>\n

It was one of those periods when all the usual fortune-cookie cliches start to feel like holy scripture, and A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH is the resultant gospel according to Bezic. When she says she\u2019s been \u201creborn on the dancefloor\u201d on the album\u2019s namesake opening track, she\u2019s not just another indie rocker surrendering to the transforming, soul-purifying power of house music; she\u2019s heralding the promotion of Jane Inc. from a fantasy alter-ego to a real-world manifestation, one that\u2019s inspiring her to approach both life and music with the same uninhibited, unfiltered attitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jane Inc. began as both a product of lockdowns and a statement of liberation.
