Jane Remover is on the craziest run right now. Honestly, she hasn’t stopped running since Frailty if you ask me, but when Revengeseekerz came out, something shifted. The mix of experimentation and mainstream appeal hit all the right notes and the internet, Pitchfork, and Danny Brown all seem to agree. It has a finely tuned tracklist that never hits a lull and flies by, begging to be replayed.

A lot of the more commonly heard names in the scene have this watershed “AHA!” moment. Brakence with Hypochondriac, Underscores with Fishmonger, 2hollis with Boy, ETC. These albums represent an entrance into a wider reaching audience beyond their previous works’ cult statuses. However, when artists summit that peak, sometimes things lose their spotlight on the way. 2, Fishmonger’s B-sides, Brakence’s remixes and co-productions. These things don’t get a lot of chatter but are incredible and beloved in their own right. Jane has similarly incredible but less discussed tracks that now have a home on ♡(Heart).

In July and September of 2024, Jane Remover released 2 deluxe singles. All 4 songs from these drops are I N C R E D I B L E but, in my opinion, were overshadowed by her work that came after. Now we have all of those songs, plus two more, and we get to hand out the flowers those songs deserve and to add to the mountain of flowers Jane’s music has gotten over the last year and a half. 

This EP sounds like nothing else out there. You could argue it was foreshadowing the sound Revengseekerz would put front and center, but there’s something more here. There’s melancholic and yearning melody over much more guitar driven tracks that feel sexy and sad all at once. There are nods to the same kind of writing Jane demonstrates on her “Venturing” project but with harder hitting drums and glittery synths. So What and Music Baby are excellent additions as well. They round out the tracklist by bringing more of a dance tempo and aesthetic that neatly off sets the rock tones of Magic I Want U and Dream Sequence (my fav).

I think it’s awesome that she brought these songs back out to play. They deserved real moments to shine and get a pedestal to sit on and this feels like the perfect time. If more artists did this and gave their loosies proper homes, we would only benefit. It also shows that there are no rules. Who cares what you’re doing. If it sounds good it is good.
