Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover | Album Review
The third LP from the innovative hyperpop producer returns to intensely maximalist production with a terminally online edge.
With the pace at which they’re putting out music, 2025 may become the year of Jane Remover, and in my opinion, they’ve earned it.
Inspired by artists like Skrillex and Porter Robinson, they started producing in the mid-2010s under the name Dltzk, before coming out as a trans woman and adopting the name Jane Remover. Under the Jane Remover name, they’ve released two acclaimed albums firmly in the digicore and hyperpop soundscapes.
Simultaneously, they’ve also created work under a number of other stage names. From 2020 to 2022, they crafted three albums under the pseudonym Leroy, each titled Dariacore, with cover art taken from the animated series Daria. This music is even more deep-fried and terminally online than their Jane Remover work, EDM laced with numerous samples from internet culture.
On top of that, Remover sought to venture away from this highly computerized and artificial sound. With this urge brought the creation of Venturing, a fictional indie rock band with Remover at the helm, which just released their debut LP Ghostholding in February.
Here we are, just two months later, and Jane Remover is back under their own name with their third LP Revengeseekerz, a commanding return to the digicore sound they helped originate. Over twelve tracks and 49 minutes, Remover treats us to deep-fried guitars, clattering drums, synths and strings of all stripes, samples from pop culture and found recordings, and much more. All this is then densely layered into a lasagna of sound that is bold, brash, disturbing, and thrilling.
