Jane Tyrrell is a multi-talented artist with her fingers in just about every field and medium, but if she ever decides to buckle down on any one of her various artistic pursuits, we really hope music makes the cut, because her work has always been top notch in that respect, with her latest here, "The Rush" being one of her best yet. "The Rush" is the first single taken off her debut solo album, Echoes In The Aviary, set to be released on October 17th, and it's a fantastic way to set the tone for what will probably be a pretty awesome project. The music itself is somewhat straightforward at first, but pretty quickly you'll realize that it isn't your standard garden-variety piece of indie-pop, and if you're at all a fan of the type of anthemic music on the radio that's often piloted by strong female leads, then "Jane Tyrrell" is your new favorite name. The track's got all the same polish and attention to detail that a lot of the big names weave into theirs, but it's also very honest and original in its execution—so if your current inventory of tracks is getting a little stale, then this is the type of music that will infuse it with a breath of freshness. What really separates it from the pack, though, is its refined approach to the dark and brooding sounds that permeate a lot of the offbeat pop music we're hearing these days. Individually, a lot of the instrumentation in "The Rush" is actually quite ominous—and maybe even a little to harsh for the type of music she's making—but when it's all put together, everything tempers itself, and what you're ultimately greeted with is a piece of music that's as wonderfully imposing as it is conspicuously beautiful.
