Jane Weaver - The Silver Globe (019EGGS)

Electric Dream Weaver.

Like all good parables Jane Weaver's sixth solo album, a concept album called The Silver Globe, is as multifaceted as it is beguiling.  Part coming of age/part cautionary tale and part romantic peon, this twelve track synth ridden post-apoc prog-pop opus is based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes and inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences. Written from the optimistic vantage of a long-standing female independent artist, in an desperately evolving industry, Jane's latest set of self penned pop abstractions combine mechanical rock/recycled European cinema/empyrean vocalisations and an arsenal of rescued vintage synths to create a futurist narrative backdrop of a allegorical post apocalyptic landscape.

Assembled from disparate studio sessions recorded sporadically since the release of the critically acclaimed Fallen By Watchbird LP, The Silver Globe explores new collaborative relationships featuring  tracks co-produced by David Holmes, guest appearances by Australian vintage space rockers Cybotron, a recycled chunk of an 80s Hawkwind track, an intricate Damon Gough guitar solo, some Suzanne Ciani waves and post production/remix flourishes by Andy Votel. Enjoying her most fertile period to date Jane's reactions to the music of Italian synth starrs Daniela Casa and Doris Norton with local DIY artists like Una Baine's The Fates (released on her own Bird imprint) provide yet another launch pad for Jane's latest musical trajectories.
 
Paying homage in title to the troublesome Andrzej "Possession" Zulawski film of the same title, and combining influences from a wide range of lost-pop and cinematic obscurities Jane's new album uses the motif of a distant mythical impenetrable silver planet which eventually reveals itself to be a simple reflection of the beholders own souls.  Loosely metaphorical in its content The Silver Globe witnesses Jane's commitment to self-pressed conceptual pop music reach its next logical progression without compromising her natural skills as a talented melodic songwriter preserving pop vaudeville over prepacked vacuity.

Jane Weaver - The Electric Mountain

Nobody on the road,
nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air,
the summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets,
the sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house
though i know you're not home...

And i can see you
you brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair pulled back
on your sunglasses on baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

I never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you made me crazy?
remember how i made you scream?

now i don't understand what happened to our love
but babe Im gonna get you back
gonna show you what i'm made of...

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow,
smiling at everyone

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

out on the road today
I saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac
a voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back

i thought i knew what love was
what did i know
those days are gone forever
i should just let them go but...

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your top pulled down,
and your radio on baby.

i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair pulled back,
and those wayfarers on baby.

and I can tell you 
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer are gone

Pierre Wax #41

'Mantra Moderne' is a stunning, contemporary masterpiece that fuses Anatolian Psychedelia, Brazilian Tropicalia, 60’s European pop and American jazz. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.

The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.

The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.

Dubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!

The deluxe edition of ‘Mantra Moderne’ features two previously unreleased tracks - ‘Kozmos' and 'Rain (باران)’. It also includes remixes of album tracks from Baris K, Halal Cool J, and Natureboy Flako (who also contributes an unreleased cover version of ‘Senden Baska’).

Tracklist:
1) Senden Başka
2) Mantra Moderne
3) Tyranny 20
4) Pangea
5) Kuytu
6) Yanımda Kal
7) Yürüdüm, Büyüdüm, Çürüdüm
8) With A Sense Of Grace
9) Durma
10) Kozmos
11) Rain (باران)
12) Durma (Baris K Dub)
13) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Remix)
14) Kit Sebastian vs Halal Cool J
15) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Cover)
