 ‘The Amber Light’: Originally issued as a limited CD only bonus disc for ‘The Silver Globe’ album global re-release and a subsequent vinyl pressing, ‘The Amber Light’ surprised fans expecting B-sides and outtakes with what, for many, stood up as its own isolated project, including some of Jane’s best material to date, including the pulsating synth anthem ‘I Need A Connection’, which since became a radio favourite also appearing on film and fashion shows throughout the latter half of 2015.
 ‘The Amber Light’ also included further collaborations with Finders Keepers’ Andy Votel, as well as long awaited collaborations with Atari / Star Wars synthesist Suzanne Ciani, Tom Furse (keyboardist from The Horrors) and Sean Canty from Demdike Stare.
 Recorded over the course of two long weekends between tours with her custom-built band operating at an energetic optimum, ‘The Amber Light’ captures Jane exuding the passion, experimentalism and justified confidence which is instantly reflected with some of her best songwriting to date.
 Currently gearing up for a US tour and within the final throes of recording a brand-new LP for Fire Records, it is a very exciting time for this unique multi-tasking independent female composer whose loyal long-running fanbase multiplies with every closely recorded breath. Trepidation is not required here, ‘The Amber Light’ means you can go.
 Throughout her twenty-year career she has stayed focused, avoided whimsical fads and distractions and used her experience to work as hard as she can when she can. By Christmas ‘The Silver Globe’ had been announced as Piccadilly Records’ Best Album Of The Year, earned a Worldwide Top Ten Track Of The Year accolade by Gilles Peterson, gleaned across the board full-stars and thumbs up from the music press, benefitted unanimous repeat plays from virtually every specialist DJ on 6 Music (amongst many more global radio stations), found DJ mix support from Andrew Weatherall, and filled most of the pages in a twelve month diary with gig and festival requests. Meanwhile, Jane’s own Bird Imprint (via Finders Keepers) had to worked around the clock to keep up with stock demands of her new (and old) music. Album collaborators such as David Holmes, Andy Votel and BC Camplight shared gushing pride in the project and with this unanimous critical support (and long earned respect) Jane reacted in the only way she knows best - to keep creating.
