Mirror Of The Madman

Jane Weaver releases new 7” ‘The Lightning Back’
Out 6th April 2018

“She’s by some distance the best songwriter of the latter-day psych revivalists” Guardian

“A supernova talent” KEXP

Following an incredible year, Jane Weaver returns with indie store exclusive 7” ‘The Lightning Back’ on April 6th 2018. 

Widely considered the standout protonic pop song from Jane Weaver's unanimously revered Modern Kosmology, The Lightning Back sees the meteoric collision of micro-chip modulations and homespun harmonies courtesy of a self-sufficient artist who has in recent years become regarded as one of the countries finest in the field.  

This 3.5 minute pocket-pop implosion fuses subtle patch-bay arpeggios evoking the stylings of Wendy Carlos and (previous collaborator) Suzanne Ciani providing a deftly constructed framework for Weavers songwriting talents. Celebrating the intimacy and inhibition-free methodology found in her solo-power approach, The Lightning Back hears Jane's yearning lyricism rise through unique agile melodics seldom found in synthesised pop music.

This limited vinyl single also comprises a B-side in the form of a remix from London based art-noise-jazz-rock supergruppen Sex Swing.
Jane Weaver will be heading out on the road with her band across Europe from February 16th opening for Belle and Sebastian on a select number of tour dates. In the UK, she’ll also be touring with Public Service Broadcasting throughout April along with festival appearances at Greenman, Camp Bestival, Focus Wales and Halfway (Poland).

A beautiful thing happened when Asthmatic Kitty artists Helado Negro and Julianna Barwick first met: they got to know each other. The result, a new collaborative band, OMBRE, and a brand-new full-length record, Believe You Me.

OMBRE, "Tormentas"

'Occhi Di Serpente' is taken from WOW's 'Come La Notte' out on August 30 on Maple Death Records and My Own Private Records.

WOW - Occhi Di Serpente

Was Bruch auch anfasst, hat meist was smart Mitreißendes und wie genau er es anstellt mit diesen wenigen Mitteln den Kern-Essenzen eines soliden Popsongs nachzuspüren, fragt man sich beim Hören dann oft schon wieder auch nicht mehr, weil man bereits zu sehr im Songsog und dem dabei meist von seiner Stimme getragenen und angenehmen Gefühl zeitloser Illusion von Geborgenheit. Hier zweimal mehr in und mit wunderschönem Artwork im 7"-Format: Einmal das trocken poppige "Kohlhaas", basierend auf dem gleichnamigen, gerechtigkeitsüchtigen Protagonisten der Kleist-Novelle "Michael Kohlhaas" und die connaiseurhafte Bergung der glänzenden Perle "I  surrender" vom, des nur zum Zeitpunkt seines Erscheinens komplett missverstandenen zweiten Albums "Cast of Thousands" der unwiderstehlichen 70ies Punks The Adverts. - Christian Egger

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
