Jane Weaver reinvents pop music on new album ‘Flock’ set for release on 5th March 2021
Pre-order 'Flock' : https://fire-records.lnk.to/JWFlock
Beautifully packaged Rough Trade exclusive will be available on olive-green vinyl with a deluxe ‘tip-on’ sleeve and poster. Other variants include an indie store LP on cream vinyl, a standard light rose vinyl edition and CD.
These are strange times. Everything is different. One thing we know, for sure, is that Jane Weaver continues to metamorphosise...
New album ‘Flock’ is the record that Jane always wanted to make, the most genuine version of Jane Weaver, complete with unpretentious Day-Glo pop sensibilities, wit, kindness, humour, glamour...
It features an untested new fusion of seemingly unrelated compounds fused into an eco-friendly hum; pop music for post-new-normal times. Created from elements that should never date, its pop music reinvented.
Still prevalent are the cosmic sounds but ‘Flock’ is a natural rebellion to the recent releases which sees her decidedly move away from conceptual roots in favour of writing pop music.
Produced on a complicated diet of bygone Lebanese torch songs, 1980's Russian Aerobics records and Australian Punk.
The first broadcast from this flickering set is the single ‘The Revolution Of Super Visions’, an untelevised Mothership connection, with Prince floating by as he plays scratchy guitar; it also features a funky whack-a-mole bass line and synth worms. It’s upbeat, a story, a revolution in the head…
“The revolution accidentally happens because so many people visualise the same ideals and something supernatural occurs. Everyone is exhausted with social media, inequality and the toxic masculinity of world leaders contributing to a dying planet.” Jane Weaver
