Song of the Day has returned from vacation, and I can’t think of a better way to come back than with my favorite dance-pop group this city has to offer. We’ve been following the rise of Jane Leo since its origins, and since the last time we checked in with the duo, they supported indie group Cannons on what was Jane Leo’s first national tour; played a ton of music fests; and their single “Wow” landed in ads for both Google Pixel and Michael Kors.

Over the last year or so, they’ve breadcrumbed a few bangers, many leading to the release of their sophomore album Creature of Destruction, out September 19th. “Goldmine” is our last nugget before the album, and while it may be among the more subdued songs Jane Leo has released, it is still dripping with energy and that funky “Imma dance here in my own little circle, in my own little world” energy. Bouncy, sexy, and more vintage than much of what we’ve heard in the past, “Goldmine” is a cheeky reminder that even if you go to Jane Leo show to dance with one foot in the future, they’ve got plenty of tricks up their sleeve to subvert expectations without losing an ounce of their allure.

Jane Leo is hitting the road with indie duo New Constellations. That tour lands at Empire Control Room on Thursday, November 6th, and Jane Leo will return to Studio 1A on Thursday, September 11th.
