Jean on Jean

After the breakup of Out Hud in 2005, cellist and vocalist Molly Schnick began recording songs that were far removed from the dance-punk sounds of her previous group. The intimate and reflective songs she worked on over the next three years are collected under the name Jean on Jean, and her debut self-titled album was released on Kanine in the autumn of 2008. Aided by ex-Supersystem member Rafael Cohen, the album blends a rich "chamber pop on the cheap" sound with a fragile folkiness that completely suits the season in which it was released. Following the release of the album, Schnick put together a live band that included Cohen, Olivia Mori, and Eric Emm.
