“3Jane”
The Future’s Void (out 04.08 on Matador)
Cathartic post-rocker, Erika M. Anderson’s follow-up to 2011’s emotional suckerpunch, Past Life Martyred Saints, is just around the corner. Its third single shows what makes her open-hearted, dear-diary style so arresting. “3Jane” deals with the harrowing fall-out from releasing an album as personal and honest as Past Life Martyred Saints.
She articulately deals with the disassociation and anxiety that rose from feeling like she “blew her soul out across the Interwebs.” She candidly admits that the whole experience “left a whole so big inside of me.” However, in typical defiant fashion, the South Dakota-native meets the truth head-on and pens an insightful, personal story, which doubles as a stinging editorial on our lives in the social media age. Stunning.
