Alt-pop artist Jane Weaver released her last album, The Silver Globe, in late 2014 via her own imprint Bird Records. After 20 years chipping away at the rock face of experimental pop, it proved to be a commercial breakthrough, with the LP being praised for its strong melodic sensibilities and Weaver’s ability to blend together a wide variety of influences into a cohesive whole.
Since then, she’s played an extensive string of sold-out dates and made a number of appearances at festivals across the country. Now, she’s signed to Fire Records, joining other musicians at the cutting-edge of experimental pop, including Death & Vanilla, Noveller Josephine Foster and Virginia Wing.
Weaver is now currently working on her seventh self-produced studio album, which will be another experimental take on pop using synth ridden sessions recorded earlier this year in Manchester. The new LP is due out sometime in 2017. Next month, Weaver will also be playing a couple of live dates in the UK. Details below.
