Juno Records Album of the Week
Nearly everything here, from either side of the divide, is short and sharp, so there’s very little chance of boredom setting in, and the liberal use of spoken word samples as well as some ingenious lyrical work, means that Smith’s message about modern life and its pitfalls comes across effectively without clumsy sloganeering.

Modern Tackle on Stamp the Wax
Jane in Palma is the moniker of Californian artist Julian Smith; an outlet for his explorations into live and sequenced productions and the use of experimental recording processes.
Having previously operated under the alias Don Froth, he released music for the likes of WNCL Recordings, Phonica White and UNO! NYC between 2010 and 2016. He turned his attention to his Jane in Palma project in 2018 with his first album, Primitive Thoughts, seeing him interpret the surroundings of his recording locations – two empty caves on the island of Mallorca – and the feelings of isolation that these places engendered.

Boiler Room Debut
Boiler Room Debuts a track off my upcoming record Jane in Palma - Primitive Thoughts. “It’s always refreshing to stumble across a gem that goes the extra length to reach true uniqueness. Jane In Palma is indeed that. In the wake of losing everything to a fire, the enigmatic musician isolated himself in two caves on the island of Mallorca, exploring new sounds and mediums. The results were top draw, amounting to his beautifully crafted Primitive Thoughts LP.”
