| | Jane Pow
Love It Be It!/State CD (1993)
 $13.89
The trick is avoiding sounding cloying, and the band does its best make sure that's the case. There are some wry digs at the out-of-place status of the group to begin with -- thus "90s," an anti-love letter to the decade in particular -- and there's a lot on the disc that certainly succeeds most because of its obvious forebears from the Hollies to the Boo Radleys. Certainly, in comparison to the sometimes all-too-overbearing "we are ART!" stance from the Elephant 6 stable, Jane Pow worked with a smaller palette but to better end results. Muffled feedback settles into gentle acoustic sweetness just so, off-kilter dance beats -- sort of -- add to the fun chaos. Poppy but not suffocatingly power pop, open to fun tweaks and twists in arrangements to show hints of everything from shoegaze guitar overdive to glammed-up strutting, Jane Pow make a virtue out of sunniness and energy. Ultimately, though, it's those wonderfully quirky arrangements -- sudden stop-starts in rhythm that don't feel like prog-rock showoff nonsense, the way vocals first hide behind the music, then slide out front, the overall air of winning jauntiness -- that seal the deal. A handy two-for-one CD collection of the band's two albums, Love It Be It!/Stare makes a pretty good case for Jane Pow being, if not the lost British band of the '90s, then definitely a lost one.
