Jane Inc. is the solo moniker of Carlyn Bezic, forged after years spent building bona fides in the Toronto music scene with groups like U.S. Girls, Darlene Shrugg and dance-pop duo Ice Cream. Pitchfork has described her as “an all-seeing art-pop auteur equally enamored with electro-disco and bossa nova, like a DIY Madonna who never left the Danceteria” and “a musical Swiss Army knife, capable of anything and revelling in her multiplicity.” 2022’s Faster Than I Can Take was described in TIME Magazine as “a gripping trip to pop’s frontier”. Stereogum said 2025’s A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH was “both extremely fun and nakedly emotional” with Pitchfork adding “Bezic’s glassy vocals seem braced for uncertain adventure, poised between melancholy and euphoria”. In her live show Bezic takes the conceptual edges of her work and pushes them with a physical abandon and “incredible presence, keeping the audience rapt even when she was just dancing hypnotically” (Brooklyn Vegan)”
