The tracks on her EP&nbsp;&#8216;JEANJEANIE,&#8217; out now, show off not only her skill on the guitar but a unique ability to create a mood\u2014swinging from seductive to savage and beyond\u2014through dark, personal lyrics and powerful delivery that ranges from ethereal to unrestrained.<br><br><em>&#8220;When people listen to my music, they can feel as though they&#8217;re in a trance,&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;Crawford says.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;But it&#8217;s more than just that. There&#8217;s a wall of noise that brings you in, but beyond that there&#8217;s beauty alongside the chaos.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>Delicacy presented side by side with disorder is precisely what Crawford does best. It&#8217;s evident in the debut single from the new EP,&nbsp;<em>Same Old Tricks<\/em>,&nbsp;as well as tracks like&nbsp;<em>Jonsies Gonesies<\/em>,&nbsp;which displays a talent for mellow sounds that linger just below haunting lyrics, and&nbsp;<em>Not Today<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Better for Me<\/em><strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;which both boast a drive that demands attention. When she talks about the music she herself loves\u2014a diverse selection including P.J. Harvey, Portishead, and Bjork\u2014it highlights the same idea; Crawford is an artist who&#8217;s not only at home among different ideas but also one who can draw clear lines between them for anyone lucky enough to follow along.<br><br>Crawford grew up in Los Angeles, soaking in the city&#8217;s creative culture. Her mother is a filmmaker and music-video director and her father is an artist, and early on Crawford immersed herself in L.A.&#8217;s legendary music scene.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;In high school, and I start going to DIY shows, going to The Smell and becoming interested in writing music,<\/em>&#8221; she says.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Soon enough, I dropped out of school. I thought, fuck it, I know what I&#8217;m supposed to do.&#8221;<\/em>Indeed, the day she left high-school she played her first club gig.<br><br>Things only got better from there. Soon enough, Crawford was in the studio with producer Ross Robinson, playing alongside rock titans including Slayer&#8217;s Dave Lombardo and Justin Pearson of the Locust. She found her true inspiration not in the studio, but at home and recorded her first EP,&nbsp;&#8216;The Hallucinatory and Addictive 4 Week Love,&#8217;&nbsp;in her bedroom.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Doing that sparked my creativity,&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;she says.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Next, I started learning and doing all by myself.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>She started playing shows regularly, supporting groups like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and earning a rabid fanbase among L.A.&#8217;s musical cognoscenti.&nbsp;Buzzbands L.A.&#8217;s Kevin Bronson wrote she was&nbsp;<em>&#8220;an unexpected highlight&#8230; shredding like a 19-year old possessed and tossing shards of dark noise.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>&#8216;<em>JEANJEANIE&#8217;&nbsp;<\/em>will only broaden Crawford&#8217;s army of admirers. The collection of five songs shows off all of the facets of Crawford&#8217;s talent that make her work so fascinating\u2014and for an artist showing such promise so early in her career, it&#8217;s also a strong signifier of things still to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stream&nbsp;&#8216;JeanJeanie&#8217;&nbsp;via Spotify &amp; Apple Music&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/planetarygroup.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=bc31868377c214862493bdd83&amp;id=229b198977&amp;e=e893e838f9\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/bc31868377c214862493bdd83\/_compresseds\/7c30e955-f909-410f-9082-d682173d5ad1.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;JEANJEANIE<em>&#8216; <\/em>EP track listing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
