Project Jenny, Project Jan

Although Task Jenny, Task Jan describe their very own music as “electro karaoke,” decreasing point of comparison may be the synth pop era of Sparks, circa Angst in my own Slacks. Keyboardist Sammy Rubin may be the Ron Mael body, position stoically behind a loan company of notebooks and sequencers as the brashly outgoing Jeremy Haines sings frequently extremely funny music about shedding the negatives to people dirty pictures of the girlfriend as well as the glories of these inexpensive buses that operate between Boston’s, New York’s, and Philadelphia’s Chinatowns in support of sometimes burst into flames in the Interstates. Components of Beck in his cut-up electro setting as well as the good-time garbage of Danish duo Junior Mature one thinks of aswell in these mashups of apparently every electronic-based musical design of the preceding four years. Rubin and Haines initial appeared with Task Jenny, Task Jan’s self-titled, self-released debut EP in 2005. The full-length debut, XOXOXOXOXO, adopted in 2007.
