"...The ensuing 40-minutes dance slowly through a dizzying landscape...Janes borrows from blues, spirituals and country with equal dexterity."
Product Description
The long awaited follow-up to Liz Janes’ acclaimed 2001 debut Done Gone Fire (with accompaniment by Sufjan Stevens), Poison & Snakes documents Janes’ progression as a seasoned singer, songwriter and performer. Here, Janes and producer Rafter Roberts set her mellifluous blues-tinged voice and unexpected phrasing against eclectic and unpredictable arrangements. Supported by members of some of San Diego’s most renowned bands (Black Heart Procession, Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt and Soul-Junk), the lush and ornate production of Poison & Snakes mirrors Liz Janes’ songwriting versatility and addictive chameleon voice. The result is a record that masterfully combines elements of punk, gospel and country music.
Liz Janes was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2004 San Diego Music Awards.
