The Jane Bradfords are a four piece. Sometimes they can be as large as a seven piece. Sometimes its just one guy in a studio cursing at old keyboards that used to work perfectly well.
The Jane Bradfords are difficult to pigeonhole into a genre; on the surface they’re Indie, but elements of Pop, Electro and even post punk are all in the mix. There’s the nonchalant swagger of The National, the driving, tight Peter Hook style bass and at times the euphoric hosannas of Arcade Fire, but they have a defiantly unique sound.
The list of bands that they have supported reads like a who’s who of niche indie and includes The National, Maximo Park, LCD Soundsystem, CSS, Cold War Kids, and Peter Bjorn and John among others, emphasizing their unique cross-genre appeal.
They have received critical acclaim from the media, including being crowned ‘God of the Pod’ in Huw Stephens best of unsigned 2006 on Radio 1 and recording a subsequent session in the famed Maida Vale studios. Radio 1’s ‘introducing’ subsequently awarded the band with ‘album of the week’ for their 2008 self-titled debut LP. During that time the Jane Bradfords had a minor success in a small country in the middle east; but that’s a different story…
WINNER OF THE ONE MUSIC 'GOD OF THE POD - BEST OF UNSIGNED 2006' ON BBC RADIO 1
ALBUM OF THE WEEK ON HUW STEPHENS INTRODUCING on RADIO 1
"Sounding absolutely spectacular... They make ace indie music, all grotty and life affirming" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
"(They) write songs that burn with a furnace-like intensity; sorrow and joy tangled up in their crisp synthesizer motifs and knotted guitars. Frontman Deci Gallen has one of those voices, sepulchral, echoing mournfully, a ghost amongst the gravestones."
- Frances Jones, Drowned in Sound
"The Jane Bradfords recall the bruised melancholy of The National and a pre-superstardom Snow Patrol" - Q Magazine
"If you were able to fuse Ceremony-era New Order with Mars Audiac Quintet-era Stereolab, you might come close to the sound of The Jane Bradfords. With an effusive pop sensibility plugged straight into the heart of post punk minimalism, each song rises and falls in glorious waves of joy and sorrow." - Stephen McCauley, Electric Mainline
"...music that stirs the soul as well as the ears."
- BBC Across the Line
"Processed beats and meaty, edgy synths all underpinned by gloriously melodic indie songcraft." - Radar Magazine
