13 FÉVRIER - 21H - O PATRO VYS

A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH, the third album from Toronto’s Jane Inc., has a pulse rendered by the insistent self-possession that comes from being repeatedly and forcibly reminded of your own mortality. Written in the aftermath of a car accident, a vocal cord cancer diagnosis, and a breakup, it presents a journey of fragility, mortality, chance, clarity through collapse, and the erotic energy that can come in moments of deep stabilization. The more esoteric art-pop of Jane Inc. records past—2021’s Number One and 2022’s Faster Than I Can Take—has given itself over to a beat-forward, ‘80s disco shimmer because it had to: Bezic’s only way through this was across the surface of a dancefloor and a stage. Effervescent and adventurous, it operates under the foreboding assumption that in life, there are no guarantees. So what’s a girl to do? With this album, Jane Inc. says: meet me on the dancefloor.
