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. She’s often singing about the loftiest of subjects, but losing yourself in the wordless physical ecstasy of the beat is the point. There are no guarantees. So what’s a girl to do? With A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH, Jane Inc. says: meet me on the dancefloor. Jane Inc. is the solo moniker of Carlyn Bezic, forged after years spent building bona fides in the Toronto music scene with groups like U.S. Girls, Darlene Shrugg and dance-pop duo Ice Cream. Pitchfork called Number One, "dazzling... \[Bezic\] proves herself a musical Swiss Army knife, capable of anything and revelling in her multiplicity." Faster Than I Can Take was featured in SPIN, FADER, Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, and Stereogum, to name a few. In her live show, Bezic takes the conceptual edges of her work and pushes them with a physical abandon and “incredible presence, keeping the audience rapt even when she was just dancing hypnotically” (Brooklyn Vegan).
