Jane Doe has today released their new video for the track titled ‘Atlas’. Co-directed by Janna King and Ava Taulere, the video captures that quasi-Bossanova meets gritty rock and soul fused with absolute originality.
The guitars are a sheer demon that carries the vocals to their conclusion. This is a stomp-styled track with the weight of anything that rock is mixed with everything indie music should be. The guitar solo is a straight-up money shot that begs the question ‘Why don’t more songs have a guitar solo?’.
At the end of the day, the song, Jane Doe captivates and originates in every possible way using all possible means. And, that is what a great band should always do.
“We wanted to highlight the salty lyrics by giving the music video an absurdist comedy twist. Everyone knows that person who plays the victim and acts like they’re Atlas with the world on their shoulders, so this is our take on that theme. Instead of the world, it’s a cupcake or an enormous beachball. We’re also all about honoring those in the music and rock world who came before us. The suits let us dress the part but with a Jane Doe flare.”
Izzy, Jane Doe
About Jane Doe
Jane Doe is not your average band – not by a long shot. With an authentic sound woven from the milieu of rock and roll, the West Coast-based Jane Doe is fronted by a defiant, opinionated but incredibly smart and compassionate woman, singing, screaming, and messaging an entire generation to whom she’s connected. Jane Doe’s National (US/CDN) campaign launched along with their debut album “Identified”, in January 2019 and was mastered by none other than the legendary Howie Weinberg. With tunes like the brutally honest ‘Final Line’, epic throwbacks, and homage tracks like ‘This is a Rock Song’, as well as the empowering ‘Scab’ and haunting ‘Scar Territory’, Jane Doe’s music has become part of a new multi-generational soundtrack.
Their sophomore album Found marks a new musical chapter for the band. Single “Dig a Grave” is a face-melting grunge rock anthem celebrating the dirty moodiness of the era. The song is shared alongside a cinematic music video. Helmed by an experience-meets-innovation father-daughter duo, the visual is heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick with its vibrant visuals, dark thematic undertones, and sardonic bite.
Then there is “Atlas”, which features rolling drums, dynamic power chords, and deeply intense evocative vocals that fuse together for a vortex of magnetic ferocity. Frontwoman Izzy Kay adds that the song is “inspired by the music that came before us, laced with sarcastic lyrics, and ever-dedicated to carry the torch of rock n’ roll.”
Above all else, Jane Doe is the generation that doesn’t fit a specific mold. Jane Doe is a square peg in a round hole. Jane Doe is the wave of people who identify with the past but shape the future.
