ローリング・ストーン誌にて「予想を覆すDIYアーティスト」と称賛されたフォスターは、2018年にカナダで、そして2020年には世界に向けて初のソロ・アルバム『Windows in the Sky』をリリース。父の死後、自己と向き合うための“亡命生活”を過ごしたモロッコ・タンジールで綴られた同作は、NMEに「夢のようなポストロックの衝撃」と評され、BrooklynVeganは「HammockやAsche & Spencerを思わせるサウンドに、MogwaiとExplosions in the Skyをたっぷりと加えたような作品」と絶賛しました。
Four nameless rock and roll powerhouses, Jane Doe, have released a new music video titled “Atlas”. It is a unique representation of a classic hard rock song in the style of Deep Purple with a modern sensibility.
Stacked with unique imagery, the video is a gripping watch over a soundtrack of hard-hitting guitars, blazing vocals and thumping bass. Searing, sardonic lyrics and a catchy chorus are paired with absurdist imagery as the bandmates push and pull a variety of oversize and undersize objects - and even each other - in a swipe at the ineffectuality of arrogance and self-importance.
Frontwoman Izzy confides, "We wanted to highlight the salty lyrics by giving the music video an absurdist comedy twist. Everyone knows that person who plays the victim and acts like they’re Atlas with the world on their shoulders, so this is our take on that theme. Instead of the world, it’s a cupcake or an enormous beachball. We’re also all about honoring those in the music and rock world who came before us. The suits let us dress the part, but with a Jane Doe flare.”
Co-directors Janna King and Ava Taulere, with kinetic camerawork by Xavier Henselmann and Ron Geffen’s snappy editing - lean into the band’s general goal to enjoy every minute making music.
Jane Doe continues to forge ahead in the rock world. The band has received acclaim Atwood Magazine, The Luna Collective, Sweety High, and more.
Jane Doeの全米(US/CDN)キャンペーンは、2019年1月のデビューアルバム『Identified』とともに開始され、伝説的なハウィー・ワインバーグがマスタリングを担当した。残酷なまでに正直な「Final Line」、「This is a Rock Song」のような壮大なスローバックやオマージュ・トラック、そして力を与えてくれる「Scab」や心を揺さぶる「Scar Territory」などの曲で、Jane Doeの音楽は新しい多世代のサウンドトラックの一部となった。
2024年に発売された2ndアルバム『Found』は、バンドにとって新たな章となった。シングル 「Dig a Grave 」は、当時のダーティーなムードを讃えた、顔を溶かすようなグランジ・ロック・アンセムだ。 この曲は、映画のようなミュージック・ビデオとともに公開された。経験と革新が融合した父娘デュオが手掛けたこのビジュアルは、スタンリー・キューブリックに強くインスパイアされたもので、躍動感溢れる映像、ダークなテーマ性、無粋な噛みつき方が特徴となっている。
Jane Doe is not your average band – not by a long shot. With an authentic sound woven from the milieu of rock and roll, the West Coast based Jane Doe is fronted by a defiant, opinionated but incredibly smart and compassionate woman, singing, screaming and messaging an entire generation of whom she’s connected to.
Jane Doe’s National (US/CDN) campaign launched along with their debut album "Identified", January 2019 and was mastered by none other than the legendary Howie Weinberg.
With tunes like the brutally honest ‘Final Line’, epic throwbacks and homage tracks like ‘This is a Rock Song’, as well as the empowering ‘Scab’ and haunting ‘Scar Territory’, Jane Doe’s music has become part of a new multi-generational soundtrack.
Their sophomore album Found marks a new musical chapter for the band. Single "Dig a Grave” is a face-melting grunge rock anthem celebrating the dirty moodiness of the era.
The song is shared alongside a cinematic music video. Helmed by an experience-meets-innovation father-daughter duo, the visual is heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick with its vibrant visuals, dark thematic undertones and sardonic bite.
Then there is "Atlas", which features rolling drums, dynamic power chords, and deeply intense evocative vocals that fuse together for a vortex of magnetic ferocity. Frontwoman Izzy Kay adds, the song is "inspired by the music that came before us, laced with sarcastic lyrics, and ever-dedicated to carry the torch of rock n’ roll."
Above all else, Jane Doe is the generation that doesn’t fit a specific mold. Jane Doe is a square peg in a round hole. Jane Doe is the wave of people who identify with the past but shape the future.
