Following the breakup of Out Hud in 2005, cellist and vocalist Molly Schnick began documenting songs which were far taken off the dance-punk sounds of her previous group. The seductive and reflective music she done over another 3 years are gathered beneath the name Jean on Jean, and her debut self-titled record premiered on Kanine in the fall of 2008. Aided by ex-Supersystem member Rafael Cohen, the record blends a wealthy “chamber pop over the inexpensive” sound using a delicate folkiness that totally suits the growing season by which it had been released. Following a release from the recording, Schnick come up with a live music group that included Cohen, Olivia Mori, and Eric Emm.
