JANE INC.
2020 was the birth of Jane Inc., a solo project forged by Carlyn Bezic after years of building her bona fides in the Toronto music scene with groups like U.S. Girls, Darlene Shrugg and acclaimed dance-pop duo Ice Cream. Pitchfork called Jane Inc.'s first album, 2021's Number One "dazzling... [Bezic] proves herself a musical Swiss Army knife, capable of anything and revelling in her multiplicity." On sophomore album Faster Than I Can Take, she uses all the tools at her disposal - a Prince-like ability to shred harmonic guitar riffs over deep, danceable grooves, an eagerness to experiment with form, and lyricism that seamlessly links the personal and the political - to focus the multifaceted energy of Number One into something completely singular. In her live show, Bezic takes the conceptual roots of Faster Than I Can Take and stretches and deepens them, while creating “an incredible presence, keeping the audience rapt even when she was just dancing hypnotically, reminisent of Mistki or Lorde” (Brooklyn Vegan), proving that a Jane Inc. show is the ideal setting to dance while you cry.
