That LP, ‘Crashing The Party,’ received critical acclaim, earned a Boston Music Award, and was named among the best records of the year by Jim Fusilli of the Wall Street Journal. Songs from the album were featured on One Tree Hill, Jersey Shore, The League, Damages, and more.
Janovitz spent the next few years producing and engineering music for other artists, while touring several times as keyboardist for Graham Parker. He also co-composed the score for the Parker Posey film 'The Love Guide’. He collaborated with Tanya Donelly (Belly, Breeders, Throwing Muses) on several projects, and recorded acts like Lucius and Shonen Knife for a web series.
Over the next several years, he released a number of solo singles (collected as the LP ‘Singles 2015-2020’), while continuing to work with friends and new artists in the studio. New music is set for release in 2026 and 2027, beginning with the single “Surround Sound” on November 13, 2026.
