Census Designated by Jane Remover
Jane Remover’s sophomore album, Census Designated, is an emotional journey of self-realization, told with her instantly recognizable, glitchy production. Any given track can effortlessly bring layered, pensive vocals to an all-encompassing noise rock crescendo. In a slight shift from her earlier work, Jane Remover paces this album in a similar fashion to Ethel Cain’s Preacher’s Daughter, and showcases the unraveling turmoil of exploitation and isolation, set within a sonic landscape that reflects the chaos of her mind. Remover’s vocals are haunting and strained at times, yet elegantly carry the album to its most emotionally raw moments. As a whole, the album is an incredible, captivating listen.
