The Dark Side Of The Moon

Synths sneer and shimmer, fuzzed-out guitars play against an hypnotic voice w/ confident bass over each track.Who is Jane Inc.? She is CEO and pencil pusher; she is a blank, unknowable Jane Doe, and she is the singular solo project of Carlyn Bezic. Also known as one half of weird-pop duo Ice Cream, one fifth of rock and roll fever dream Darlene Shrugg, and touring member of US Girls band, Bezic has been building a body of work on merging a pop sensibility with off-kilter influences. Jane Inc's debut album, Number One, out on Telephone Explosion in March 2021, is an exciting progression of that body of work: a meditation on the self that marries pop songwriting with swirling sonic experiments.The eight songs on Number One act as pieces of a collage, forming a face that's both familiar and strange, direct and oblique. Synths sneer and shimmer, fuzzed-out guitars play against Bezic's soothing and hypnotic voice, and a constant and confident bass grounds each track. She brings us into flowing, dreamlike reflections, creating an expansive world that stretches beyond the album’s limits. LP purchase comes with MP3 download.

En 1967, le monde occidental vit son Summer of Love alors qu'au même moment, le Nigeria sombre dans la guerre civile et voit naître une musique engagée et inédite. Porté par Fela Kuti, l'afrobeat, qui fusionne du funk, du jazz, de la musique d'Afrique occidentale, de la musique traditionnelle nigériane et des rythmes yorubas, s'engage en politique et secoue les consciences. Ce nouveau rock nigérian vaut à ses auteurs de nombreux séjours en prison, mais il participe aussi à la naissance d'un Nigeria moderne. Deux volumes édités par le label Nowagain racontent les débuts de cette histoire, de 72 à 77, et un CD en compile les meilleurs morceaux.

Ce disque raconte une traversée nocturne. Un morceau pour chaque heure de la nuit, de dix heures du soir à dix heures du matin. ‪A 22h, nous ne comprenions plus rien. A minuit, j’ai dit adieu à l’enfance. ‪A 5h, tu te mettais tout nu. ‪A 6h, un souffle a été retenu au- dessus du vide. ‪A 10h, on était quelqu’un d’autre.
