"One of this year’s best surprises has been Soul Retrieval, the debut solo album from Janine Rainforth, best known as the lead singer and co-founder of seminal post-punk funk outfit Maximum Joy." Ransom Note

Janine Rainforth  singer & writer & music selector;  original founder of one of the first post punk bands - Maximum Joy/MMJoY
She returned to performing music publicly in 2014 after an absence of decades, her career in music and with the band she’d formed had been cut short by a serious violent sexual attack from within her close professional circle



‘Her new work comprises rich, blurry lullabies which flow sonorously through space, dripping searching keys over shuffling rhythms and, of course, Rainforth’s piercing but pining vocal. It’s a sweeping, ambient sound”
which recalls another strand of 80s alternative in the otherworldly ethereal wave of Liz Fraser’s work with This Mortal Coil, or even the contemporary avant-pop of Zola Jesus or Glasser” – Crack Magazine

Rich, blurry synth laden lullabies flow over shuffling rhythms and, Janine Rainforth’s otherwordly vocal. 

Guardian interview with Janine - March 2019 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/06/janine-rainforth-the-cult-post-punk-hero-confronting-sexual-violence

“As Rainforth forges a new musical future, it’s important not to divorce it from her fearless and catalytic past.. Releasing these long-gestated ideas into the public sphere, and especially returning to the stage after over two decades, took some guts..” Crack Magazine http://crackmagazine.net/article/music/rainforth/

“Janine Rainforth’s singing, probably my all-time favourite vocal take, seems to combine an ageless English folk sensibility with both a teenager’s innocence/insouciance and a smoked-out drowsy jazz maturity well beyond her years.” Kiran Sande – Blackest Ever Black - RewindFwd https://rwdfwd.com/products/maximum-joy-i-cant-stand-it-here-on-quiet-nights/

…”Marrying digital technologies with found sounds and otherworldly vocals, she’s dabbling in ambient crescendos and synth-laden melodies to maximum effect.”
