Berserker is the third album released by Jane, composed of Animal Collective member Panda Bear and Scott Mou. Berserker is Jane's first release on Paw Tracks.

The songs consist mostly of Mou sampling other musicians' backing tracks. According to Lennox, "It’s like a mix CD with toasting over the top [...]. [But] we make the songs our own because the way we move from track to track is unique.".[4]
