Twen are Jane Fitzsimmons and Ian Jones — a Cincinnati-born, road-raised rock duo who have spent the better part of a decade booking their own tours out of a converted van. You can feel their fiercely independent method permeating each riff: they write, engineer, and mix everything themselves. Fate Euphoric, their 2025 album, is the one we kept returning to on our daily drives without getting tired. Sprawling across garage rock, psych, and melodic pop, the record draws on the medieval Rota Fortunae (The Wheel of Fortune) as a frame for examining fate when the world feels like it's spinning out. We spoke with Jane and Ian while the band was on an extensive North American tour. In this episode, we play the album in full and talk about intuition as survival, the logic of doing things unconventionally, and why creation might be the closest thing to feeling godlike.
