Revengeseekerz is the third studio album by the American musician Jane Remover. It was released by DeadAir Records on April 4, 2025. The album features a sole guest appearance by American rapper Danny Brown. As with their previous two albums, production was handled entirely by Jane Remover.
The album was supported by two singles, "JRJRJR" and "Dancing with Your Eyes Closed". Upon release, Revengeseekerz was met with critical acclaim.
Background
[edit]Jane Remover released their second studio album, Census Designated, in 2023.[2] It received positive reviews from publications such as Pitchfork,[3] The Guardian,[4] and Exclaim!.[5] It was generally described as a shoegaze[3] and post-rock[6] album. In 2024, they released the non-album singles "Flash in the Pan", "Dream Sequence", "Magic I Want U", and "How to Teleport". They revealed in a January 2025 Billboard article that they recorded an 18-song album containing the previously released singles throughout the summer of 2024, but scrapped it in favor of the sound on Revengeseekerz.[7] They conceptualized the album while opening for JPEGMafia on his Lay Down My Life tour, beginning work on it in September 2024 upon the tour's completion,[8] fueled by an experience in which maggots had infested their refrigerator due to their power bill failing to be paid while on tour. They couch surfed for a week before returning home to work on the album once the infestation had been taken care of.[9] During February 2025, they released their album Ghostholding under the alias Venturing, conceptualized around the same time as Revengeseekerz.[10] Throughout April and May 2025, they embarked on the Turn Up or Die Tour across the United States and Canada.[11]
Promotion and release
[edit]Remover announced Revengeseekerz on January 1, 2025. That day, they released its lead single, "JRJRJR", and an accompanying music video co-directed by Parker Corey.[12][13] A second single, "Dancing with Your Eyes Closed", was released on February 26, 2025, with an accompanying music video co-directed by Noah Sellers.[14] The album cover for Revengeseekerz was revealed on March 17, 2025, and the tracklist was revealed on March 28.[15] Revengeseekerz released with no prior announcement on April 4, 2025, alongside a music video for "Angels in Camo," co-directed by Noah Sellers.[16]

Revengeseekerz received critical acclaim. Kieran Press-Reynolds of Pitchfork described the album as "some of the most all-out intense music [Jane Remover has] ever made". Press-Reynolds highlighted "Dark Night Castle" as a moment of "unhurried beauty", and stated that "Experimental Skin" sounded like Remover "recorded the song and then let five DJs tweak it out by jitter-clicking every button at once". He also felt that what made the songs on Revengeseekerz work so well is that they are "so carefully composed, so intentional, that every cyborgian burp and steel snare fits perfectly".[18] Matt Mitchell of Paste found Revengeseekerz to be Remover's "most straight-forward" album to date, and stated that on the album Remover "presents a complicated, scornful world". Mitchell highlighted "annihilating techno blade against pitch-shifting vocals" on "Psychoboost", "gauzy, compressed melodies" on "Turn Up or Die", and "sweet vocalizations" on the outro of "Star People". He also described "JRJRJR" as "textbook Jane Remover", as well as naming "Professional Vengeance" as the tightest track on the album.[1]
