Seven Day Smile (Gold Vinyl)

Following with Jane’s first full-length album in 2006, Seven Day Smile is a tongue-in-cheek collection of modern kitchen sink dramas; a wide-ranging set of floating dreampop episodes focusing on bittersweet bedsit tales, beautifully balanced between distant Americana and breathy new folk. Created by Jane featuring collaborations with Doves and Andy Votel, it’s a downtempo mirror of the northern post-Britpop era, with impetuous rhythms and super-real commentary. Seven Day Smile is a mix of the unreleased Supersister album sessions and her own home recordings that remains an intensely personal collection of songs.
