About Me

Crazy for Jane is about Jane, about being crazy for Jane, about siblings and the protagonist of their imagination whom they have sworn to travel the world to serenade. Josepha and her brother Philipp grew up in Frankfurt and Chicago, and are currently based in Berlin where the gloomy city of Brecht and historical upheaval inspires their songs. Their music is a desperate serenade underneath your window. It is pop and folk and sometimes a little jazz. Their songs are fun and poetic and their harmonies unusual and at times dissonant. Their debut album "Desperate Serenade" was released in June 2006. And their second album "Watermelon Cloud", which they recorded in Chicago with dear friends came out in July of 2007. Currently they are working on a third album called "Crazy Jane meets the family"

Please support them by checking out Desperate Serenade at Olive Juice Music , Bicycle Records , CDbaby or for download in iTunes ! Of course, you can also come get your Jane at shows.

The two have also collaborated with other Berlin artists. You can hear them on Tommy Simatupang's new album blame it on your monkey . And the lovely Sibsi just released a CD where Philipp and Josepha got to be Silhouettes. Check out Sibsi & the Silhouettes "Party is War" (availabe through Olive Juice Music)
