Toronto glam pop mainstay Jane Inc. has announced the follow-up to 2022’s Faster Than I Can Take. A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH arrives October 17 via Telephone Explosion, and comes after a series of life events that made the artist born Carlyn Bezic (Ice Cream/U.S. Girls/Darlene Shrugg) confront her mortality.
The album was recorded in the aftermath of a car crash, breakup and vocal cord cancer diagnosis. Though she successfully recovered from these life-changing incidents, as a press release puts it, “There are no guarantees.”
The album’s lead single, “elastic,” arrives today, and according to Bezic, was inspired by performing right after the car accident: “The experience unlocked something for me, and I felt I could perform with more freedom and abandon than ever before,” she said.
