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.

I don’t know
What to do
I’ll ask you
“Say what’s true”

Well tears are blue

And my tears are blue
And my tears are blue

Don’t leave too soon
Cause I need you
Or I’ll be
Back In Blue

Calling you
Calling you
Calling you

Back In Blue (prod. yora)

as happy as can be but im lying (ur not real at all)
im having dreams inside my head n im flying
its not real at all

ur not real at all

(why have the seasons not changed?)
(i feel my soul collapse unchained)

i feel wide awake
though i cannot feel myself

(collapse as one, i'll love u until the end)

i can feel myself slipping away
though i will not fight it anymore

i hope one day i'll wake up from all of this

“Masters, there is three carters, three shepherds, three neat-herds, three swine-herds, that have made themselves all men of hair, they call themselves Snapped Ankles, and they have a dance which the wenches say is a gallimaufry of gambols...” 
William Shakespeare on Snapped Ankles

'Hanging With The Moon' is taken from Snapped Ankles' debut album Come Play The Trees - out on 29 September.

Irmin Schmidt explains "Obviously the tapes weren't really lost, but were left in the cupboards of the studio archives for so long everybody just forgot about them. Everybody except Hildegard, who watches over Can and its work like the dragon over the gold of the Nibelungen and doesn't allow forgetting."
