Episode 235: Janelane

Episode 235 features an interview with Sophie Negrini of Los Angeles’ Janelane. Back in April, Janelane released their long-awaited debut full-length, Love Letters. The record was over a decade in the making, collecting songs that have origins in the mid-2010s, and showcasing Negrini’s expert ability at crafting love songs that are equal parts cutting, dreamy, and poppy. During the interview, Sophie and Tom chatted about the project’s teenage origins, its hiatus and eventual reemergence in 2020, and the evolution of its sound over the last decade. Plus, Sophie picked some awesome records from Bob Dylan, Big Star, and Guided By Voices! Check them out via the official playlist for Episode 235.Love Letters is out now via Kingfisher Bluez!
