“Thru the Vines” by Jane In Space is a Psychedelic Industrial Worm Hole Trip

New York’s Jane In Space strikes that sweet spot where industrial, post-punk and psychedelia meet on “Thru the Vines.” The video is like something that was originally filmed on VHS with the glitches and all and the then clumsy visual effects but then processed using modern editing software. The worm hole/fractal trip a little halfway past the song is reminiscent of the introduction to Doctor Who and the face like the id monster from Forbidden Planet. The pulsing then droning bass, textures and white noise processed to provide the industrial noise equivalent of a melody may remind some listeners of a strange hybrid of Author & Punisher and LIARS with the vocals of Ian Astbury. Whatever the actual influences or roots of this sound its contorted sonic brutality and surreal soundscapes and visuals are striking.
