The duo Sugarcane Jane are billed in some music mags as a Folk band. Keep that in mind when listening and you’ll surmise that definition is quite loose. This Folk is Singer/Songwriter tunes, or acoustic Blues. It’s laidback, loose Rock’n’Roll or acoustic Pop and Punk. Sugarcane Jane must be well aware that when considering the sound of Folk music, as it is in their latest On a Mission, it is description without borders.
The album opener, “Try to Make it Look Like Me”, is a playful blast of 21st Century under the radar Rock while “Loved Moved Here Along” kicks off like 1970’s Prog Rock with stabbing guitar. Both cuts have great, singular and memorable lyrical lines, in the former they quip ‘there’s a lot to learn about nothing’ and for the latter ‘in a tunnel you just wanna breath some fresh air’.
That Prog Rock feel rolls through “Burn” as Anthony Crawford scats part of his vocals, with Savana Lee banging out her vocals as a subtle back-up support as, through it all, the rhythm section grooves while the guitar pokes and stabs. “Put It in Your Pocket” has a 10-second, Bluegrass-intro before turning into bouncy Garage Pop and “Through the Day” is an animated cut that may be the Folkiest of the bunch.
Forget what they sound like, remember what they do. There is solid harmony, loads of instrumental fills, and memorable melodies, all alive and well in an On a Mission, an album of laidback Folk that that swings with a pop and punch.
