Hazy Jane - Half the Drugstore (2024) Hi-Res

Seven piece New Jersey band featuring two female lead singers. Acoustic, electric, folk, Americana, indie - whatever label you want to put on it, this is a group of very talented people making some beautiful, timeless music.
Hazy Jane, Half the Drugstore. New Jersey’s Hazy Jane cites Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush as its inspiration. Hence the cover image on Half the Drugstore, which apes that of the 1970 Young LP, as well as the album’s title and many of its song names, which are anagrams of those on Goldrush. The consistently likable music, which emphasizes acoustic instruments and the vocal work of Hazy Jane’s two lead singers, only sporadically evokes Young’s record, however. Better reference points for the CD, which Grip Weeds frontman Kurt Reil produced, include outfits like Belle & Sebastian and Cowboy Junkies.
