London trio mary in the junkyard have released 'Jane', their first new music since debut album Role Model Hermit arrived in July. The song lands ahead of the band's biggest UK and European headline run so far, a tour that includes London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Amsterdam and Paris, with every announced UK date already sold out.
The group have also provided one of the year's more refreshingly straightforward explanations of a song's inspiration: 'Jane' is about a period. Not an artistic period, historical period or period of emotional transformation. An actual menstrual period, imagined as an irritating and brutally honest recurring visitor.
That premise gives the track a mixture of intimacy, frustration and humour that suits mary in the junkyard's increasingly distinctive songwriting voice. The single is released through AMF Records and comes only a couple of months after the trio established themselves at album length. For listeners following contemporary art-rock and post-punk, the band's world may be getting bigger, but their songs are becoming more specific.
