Janey – Sounds of Oz

Sibling duo JANEY hit all the right notes with their latest single “Hurts Me Like Hell.” It’s got a beautiful lush synth-pop sound and some angelic vocals from Sarah Otto. Then you’ve got those lyrics, which so eloquently explore the idea of moving forward in life, even if it hurts the ones you care about.

“The song was birthed from a moment of disconnect with a family member of ours,” explained Sarah’s bro Billy. “It’s incredible how much body language can tell so much about how a person feels about you, not to mention when you’re a hypersensitive melancholy artist.”

The last time JANEY played a show it sold out. Hopefully it’s not too long before they’re back on stages for us!

It might be Thursday, but after a few days away celebrating my wedding anniversary this one is feeling like a Monday to me. If you’re dragging your feet as well, allow Janey to put some pep in your step. Their irresistible new pop banger “L.A.” has got all the good vibes you need to get through the day.

Janey are Central Coast-based sibling duo Billy and Sarah Otto. Just like other cool sibling acts like HAIM and Echosmith, there’s a real chemistry about what they do that just makes sense. These guys don’t even need to be in the same place to make it work. This track came about during a FaceTime conversation, when Billy was driving around downtown L.A. drumming on his steering wheel. Sarah sang the hook and the song started to take shape. It paints an honest picture of the City of Angels, a place that’s full of possibilities, yet somewhere where artists face rejection and abject poverty as they attempt to make their dreams come true.

“L.A.” is the first single from Janey’s forthcoming EP, due out later this year.
