About this item

The 3rd album from Jana Horn was written in New York and recorded in the Texas desert. Horn went to Sonic Ranch studio with her trio (Jade Guterman - bass / Adam Jones - drums) to record her self-titled record, comprised of 10 sonic landscapes which don't quite sound like they're from anywhere. Past comparisons to Yo La Tengo and Phil Elverum are still apt on 'Love' and 'All In Bet', while spare post-punk rhythms drive 'Designer' and 'Don't Think'.

In 2023 The New Yorker stated: "Horn's work aligns with a fraternity of the lonely that cuts across genres: traces of Young Marble Giants, Syd Barrett, and Broadcast all waft through her songs."

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Gorgeous but mournful minimalist country wrought from guitar, piano and vocals. There are moments of ambience and sonic experimentation (the dissonance in the opening piece reminds me of Alien8's slo-country masters, Molasses) but it never goes completely off the wall and ends up as a beautifully textured take on a classic genre.
