On Saturday afternoon, June 25, I had the opportunity to interview singer-songwriter Liz Janes . We discussed motherhood, music-making, and no-bake pies, and she so graciously filled us in on her plans for the future. To hear the whole interview and all its exciting details, check out the link below! Liz Janes Interview Asthmatic Kitty press photo by Polina Osherov Share and Enjoy:
So, I'm sitting in the DJ Lounge at WKNC, looking at the Tetris machine, our two cornhole boards and a poster for the film 2012 with a post-it of 'Hillary Clinton' and I am just reminded how misanthropic I am. Anyways, here's the upcoming giveaways for We.Know.North.Carolina. Alela Diane : June 20th @ Kings Barcade Ben Sollee with Thousands : June 2th @ Cat's Cradle Jon Lindsay w/ Reid Johson (of [...]
Soulful singer-songwriter Liz Janes will be stopping by WKNC this Saturday, June 25th at 2pm for an in-studio interview with DJ Elly May. Janes began her interest in music at a young age and then went from being involved in the Northwestern noise scene to making her own bluesy folk music; now she has made a splash at WKNC with her new album Say Goodbye . Despite its title, it certainly is not a goodbye from the artist who is in fact saying hello to the Triangle through two performances this weekend besides [...]

We featured Liz Janes on our Super Bowl mix back in February. Her album Say Goodbye, released late last year by Sufjan Stevens-owned label Asthmatic Kitty, is a lovely display of Janes' capable songwriting and sometimes-subdued style. One might be surprised that Janes, an artist unknown to many, now has an album of covers dedicated [...]
Liz Janes is one of those artists for whom there is no kinda. You love her or you don't, and that's OK. Certainly, Ms. Janes hasn't based her career on giving people what they want or expect, and when you get right down to it, that's part of what makes her a great artist. Not surprisingly, that's also what makes other artists line up to pay their respects when a project like the digital-only Time & Space comes along. Time & Space [...]
It is sometimes astonishing how much good music is floating around out there. We can't possibly get to all of it, though we'd love to tell all of you about every cool band we ever heard. It's sort of the same idea with an event like the Super Bowl. Sure, only two teams end up [...]
Liz Janes - Say Goodbye MMM 1/2 Saying Liz Janes is a bit of a chanteuse is like saying Ella Fitzgerald was a great singer. Like Fitzgerald, there's a soothing serenity to Janes' voice, one that's capable of quieting anything with its gentle, angelic, honeyed tone. Surrounded by a yin-yang of spacey folk and jazz-inflected soul, cradled by a spacious amount of reverb, Janes' voice soars with a comforting, reassuring strength. It's been five years since Liz Janes' last [...]
This week marks the re-release of the debut LP, Learning, from Seattle solo artist, Mike Hadreas, who releases music as Perfume Genius. His music is deep, painful and personal, a reflection of a troubled youth that was not in his control. And this is evident in his wrenching expressions that permeate throughout his recordings. These [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Indianapolis-based artist and Asthmatic Kitty signee Liz Janes has always been a bit of a sonic chameleon. She's dabbled in blues, gospel, americana, jazz and avant-garde pop. Her latest release sees her teaming up with some other Asthmatic Kitty stalwarts, Rafter Roberts, Chris Schlarb and Jason Crane to create her most "soulful" album yet. Janes warns you not to expect James Brown, but reveals that these are the most meaningful songs she has created. The new songs continue to span the sonic spectrum, drawing influence from jazz, R&B, [...]
By Danny Santos II MP3: Liz Janes - "I Don't Believe" There's something truly profound about Liz Janes' chanteuse-style and cool jazz appeal. She sings from the roots of her heart and soul, and yet manages to leave something for the imagination to mull over. There's a reserved beauty to it all, and yet it still radiates a brilliant aura of emotion. It's this unspoken intimacy that draws you deep inside the song's sultry mood. It's a song that crosses a [...]
"I Don't Believe" - Liz Janes Sometimes I think my mind is a little bit like a jungle gym. I used to LOVE jungle gyms when I was little. But then one day I got lost in an enclosed and elevated plastic tube that kids like to crawl around in, and ever since then, I've had a bit of a fear for jungle gyms. Luckily, I'm not afraid of my own mind. I think it's doing alright, in fact. Though things do easily get lost in there. It's also just [...]
Eight years after the release of her Sufjan Stevens-produced debut, Liz Janes returns with "Say Goodbye" (December 7, Asthmatic Kitty), a remarkable collection of eleven songs she describes as her "soul" album. It's also a significant departure from her past alt/pop work, a warm, richly tailored flight of adult-pop fancy. Notably, the songs were written a capella, creating an emphasis on melodies and singing, then expanded and restructured in the studio with instrumental backing. The result comes not just in Janes' own special songwriting skills but in her evolving view of the artistic process. "I never understood [...]
bisher habe ich es unterlassen, etwas ausführlicher auf liz janes einzugehen. jedenfalls ist dies ergebnis meinr kurzrecherche, nachdem ich die suchmaschine mit den entsprechenden koordinaten gefüttert hatte. unerwähnt blieb die dame allerdings nicht. denn auf dem kieker hatte ich sie eh. da spielt die tatsache eine nicht ganz unwichtige rolle, dass liz janes auf asthmatic kitty veröffentlicht. und so sind die alben "done gone fire" und "liz janes & create(!)" fester bestandteil meiner sammlung. gerade ersteres werk hat einen unverrückbaren platz eingenommen, wie nicht vieles andere aus dem bereich weiblicher songwriter mit folk-, mit d.i.y.- attitüde.
