21–year old Memory Of Jane–real name Maïlé Doremus–Cook–may have an opaque indie dispositionbut his creations are intended to be a communal experience; an exchange of ideas and feelings throughuniversal worldbuilding, where the listener can glean meaning and a sense of familiarity from intimatetales of torpor and existential dread.

Maïlé, based in South East London, has always possessed a latent creative streak within him.
