Gentle Giant's ability to make interesting melodies and interesting rhythmical effects (counterpoint, polyrhythms, etc.) just resonates with me so much. Their songs are just fun:

Jane’s new album is unreal - a full-blown detonation of chronically-online digicore maximalism that pushes the genre into completely uncharted territory.

And what a shift from her last studio album (which I also loved and named my AOTY in 2023), where she was building distant soundscapes of digitized noise, grungy guitar loops, and midwest-emo autocruning - her voice buried deep in the mix, panned to the edges like she was trying to vanish into the sound itself.

Now she’s back with the audacity of a quasi-trapstar, blasting straight through the front of the mix - and god, that’s gotta sting for Playboi Carti, hearing a 21-year-old girl casually walk circles around him in his own lane, exposing his avant-garde posturing for the pathetic cosplay it always was.

This is without question my AOTY - and judging by it rocketing to #1 on RYM, I’m clearly not alone. The fact that she pulled this off at, again, 21 (!), in a genre she basically invented, is genuinely wild.

I know, right? Someone on RYM called it “heroin for people with ADHD” - totally nailed it.

She’s got a ton of DJ mixes on SoundCloud - high-energy, claustrophobic megamixes where she slams together dozens, sometimes hundreds, of pop relics from a hyperwired Gen-Z adolescence. You’d probably be into it.

I do appreciate that side of her work, but what really gets me is the digital noise. If I had to describe my taste in one word, it’d be "noise." My aesthetic ideal is something like the Marquis de Sade’s Justine - an indestructible beauty who, even through unthinkable cruelty and mutilation, remains untouched in essence.

You catch glimpses of that in noise rock, shoegaze, and certain experimental scenes. But no one’s really developed the idea of "digital noise" quite like Jane did (and that’s exactly the through-line that ties together her otherwise eclectic oeuvre.) For me, it’s like a posthuman Justine - a beautiful AI humanoid imploding in pure digital collapse.

That's just my take though; I don’t think that’s what Jane has in mind when making this music. For her, it feels more like the fatal logic of accelerating a hyperdigital, post-everything aesthetic - the negative space left behind by growing up as a hyperactive Gen-Z music nerd. It’s almost like Kurzweil’s AI singularity in sound: when the algorithmic multiplicity of pop is pushed to its limit and collapsed into itself, what’s left is just noise - the way white light is the kaleidoscopic negative of all color combined.

In the end, it’s not even about the music - it’s about what remains audible when everything has already been said, sung, and smashed into a million pixels.

That’s probably why I still prefer her previous studio album Census Designated - the noise had more room to breathe, more space to unfold. And there’s actually an explicitly Sadean theme running through the album - of her being sexually abused, humiliated, mutilated, yet still affirming her own indestructible beauty. 

And it’s also why my favorite track on the new record is Dark night castle - the one where sparse strings, piano, and guitars swell into these breathtaking crescendos of digital noise.

This is, without a doubt, my most-listened-to song of all time - and it’s not even close. Still hits just as hard as it did the first time I heard it, back when I was a clueless, weird, horny, but ambitious and wide-eyed teenager.

“She asked me what I wished for on my wishlist / Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?”

Might be my favorite line in any song, ever
