Agony Girl
Agony Girl is a Gothic Shoegaze project based in Salt Lake City, and is the main solo project of Jane Hansen, blending genres of Noise Rock, Experimental, Gothic Rock, Lo-Fi, Post Punk, and Industrial. Agony Girl's music started in June of 2024 with the demo mixtape "Caveat", which was a very Lo-Fi, amateurish compilation of quickly made Noise Rock and Electronic tracks relating to trauma, fear, anxiety, despair, and love. The mixtape has been lost and there are no current plans to find and/or re release it. Shortly after Caveat, the first "official" Agony Girl project was released. Recorded from August 9th 2025 to October 1st 2025, a Lo-Fi amateurish Industrial-Electronic album called "Trash" was released, an album about topics such as despair, politics, and identity, with lots of experimental sampling and instrumentation, "recording onto my computer using whatever instruments I had at the time." The album still remains up on Bandcamp today. After the release of Trash, Agony Girl completely shifted into a new direction, focusing more on Gothic Rock and Shoegaze, while still retaining some of the Industrial sound from Trash, and started heading into a much darker direction, lyrically and sonically. Production on a new concept album quietly began and is expected to release sometime in the year 2027.

Kjeteri
Kjeteri is a Drone Metal project, started as a side project by Jane Hansen. A blend of droning "Wall of Noise" esque guitar heavy tracks, and heavy hitting slow and sludgy Doom Metal tracks. Kjeteri's self titled album was created throughout July of 2026 during a prolonged episode of extreme depression and grief, in a messy dark bedroom, on a budget of almost nothing, with Jane doing Vocals, Electric Guitars, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboards, Piano, Synthesizer, Organ, Samples, Tape Loops, Production, Performance, Mixing, Design, and Promotion for the album, and releasing on July 24, 2026. Kjeteri is currently on hiatus, but will return sometime in the near future.
