Description/Press:
♠   “Epic kraut~pop opera teeming with motorik rhythms and analogue synths.” — NPR
♠   “A mind~expanding delight, devoid of retro posturing.” — Guardian
♠   “Sparkling strangeness from one~woman genre~buster..superb.” — Uncut
♠   “Intoxicating space~rock.” — MOJO 
♠   Modern Kosmology sees Jane Weaver’s melodic~protagonist channeling new depths of creative cosmic energy within. After the huge critical acclaim of 2012’s “Fallen By Watchbird”, followed by 2015’s exploratory “Silver Globe” LP winning her unanimous “record of the year accolades” and hefty measures of radio play~listing Jane Weaver’s conceptual trajectory has sent her neo~kosmische penchants to the point of no~return.
♠   Jane Weaver’s unwaning yearning for psychoactive pop energy has just reached a new level of magnetism. As snowclones go, Modern Kosmology is the new Silver. Another Spectrum to add to the tension.
♠   Jane Weaver also announces a short run of album launch shows in the UK this May, ahead of more extensive UK and European touring to be announced later in the year.
Bio:
♠   Jane Weaver is Metamorphosing… Very alone in a home~spun cocoon with a metronomic heartbeat and the phasing voice of her former and future selves.
♠   This is the real sound of solitude but far from silence. One voice, a vulnerable pulse, channeling a lifetime of human experience via melodic codes, naked with multicoloured wings and expanding drum~drones.
♠   The comfortably claustrophobic opening track of Jane Weaver’s sixth studio album reveals a genuine experimental~pop artist in absolute control of her own intimate vessel, a songwriter and composer whose craft communicates and illustrates, vibrant within her first articulate strokes. In its sweetness, this is an ability that transcends style, politics and egotism and one that only comes with life~experience and the ability to learn, grow and fantasise in private and public alike. For those that have followed her detailed career, Jane Weaver is progressive rock in its purest molecular form. Fossilised in ferric, the crystal in the concrete. Magnetic, melodic, folkloric, unapologetic and rhythmic in her discipline.
♠   Modern Kosmology is the result of a scientist of popular song gone rogue. Here we find a model student of second~hand Kraut~rock, female punk, hard~subbed new~wave, synthesiser skip~finds and unpronounceable worldly feminine pop who’s finally reached her eureka moment. From science to séance, Modern Kosmology sees Jane Weaver’s melodic~protagonist channeling new depths of creative cosmic energy within. After the huge critical acclaim of 2012’s Fallen By Watchbird, followed by 2015’s exploratory “Silver Globe” LP winning her unanimous “record of the year accolades” and hefty measures of radio play~listing Jane Weaver’s conceptual trajectory has sent her neo~kosmische penchants to the point of no~return. Flown too far from the nest into a wider vista where brave melodic feminine songwriting meets robust synthesis, brutalist composition and Letterist informed song-structure… this album, for many, might be the post~grad psychedelic pop album they never thought would happen.
♠   Like dreams, Jane Weaver’s songs come to her “like fully~formed pictures” she explains, but only now, with a discography that spans 3 decades, has she taken concentrated and uninterrupted recording time to focus on a genuine studio album from start~to~finish. Recorded using genuine all~analogue vintage machinery,
♠   Weaver balances the obscure against the unpredictable matching every beat with every considered syllable in a 40 minute opus comprising her best lyrical songwriting to date. Songs like H>A>K and The Architect match aero~lite melodicism with pounding rhythm tracks evoking vivid images of early Modernist art, Archigram blue~prints with a rigid back~bone of Eames worthy construction. In tracks like Slow Motion and The Lightning Back, Weaver combines subtle patch~bay arpeggios combining the stylings of Wendy Carlos and (previous collaborator) Suzanne Ciani with yearning lyricism and the type of agile melodics seldom found in synthesised pop music. Other organic tracks on the LP combine awkward twangs and dystopian dirge to expose Weaver’s knowledgeable grasp on early European prog with the angular Faustian / Can pang of Loops In The Secret Society and the commune rock evocation of Ravenspoint, a seasoned reduction of Amon Duul, Ash Ra and Acanthus. The album’s title track however will tick multiple boxes for fans of all the aforementioned micro~genres with one of Weaver’s most intimate performances to date combining crystalline vocals with swells of electric organ, crooked rhythms, spiked psych guitar and spectral radiophonic effects challenging the best in obscure Swedish acid~rock and Elephants Memory’s soundtrack psych… possibly a compliment at it’s most monarchial.
♠   Self taught, self penned, self played, self produced, and all~autonomous Jane Weaver’s Modern Kosmology, however, is by no means a reclusive mission. Heavily influenced by a cast of lesser~known spiritual muse (such as automatic abstract painter Hilma Af Klint and her fabled pre~surrealist secret society) Jane also enlists the physical skills of CAN’s Malcolm Mooney amongst a skeleton crew of Mancunian drum~lords and well versed psychedelic axe~men to punctuate Jane’s synth-loaded sonic architecture. Jane Weaver’s unwaning yearning for psychoactive pop energy has just reached a new level of magnetism. As snowclones go, Modern Kosmology is the new Silver. Another Spectrum to add to the tension.
♠   Jane Weaver also announces a short run of album launch shows in the UK this May, ahead of more extensive UK and European touring to be announced later in the year. (meanwhile 25x)
