New To Me: Larsen & Furious Jane
Larsen & Furious Jane flew onto my radar after an interview with Steve Adams of highly recommended by Steve Adams of The Broken Family Band. Torsten Larsen, frontman for the Danish septet, provided the horns for one of the tracks on “Hello Love”. Adams says, “they’re a Danish band, based in the fine town of Aarhus. We first met when I rode a borrowed bicycle into him and he tried to fight me, but we later realized that I’d been admiring his album cover in a local café. He emailed his trumpet parts, isn’t that futuristic? I’d recommend that band to anyone.”
I took his recommendation and am glad that I did. Larsen & Furious Jane, on top of having a great band name, play dark folk-tinged songs with surprisingly clever lyrics. They’ve not gotten a lot of attention outside of their native Denmark, but check out some of their recent efforts and be on the lookout for their new LP from from Morningside Records in May.
