Weaver, Jane - The Silver Globe (2025 Repress)

In the madrigal-strewn world of neo folk-psychedelia, the queen of drones holds court. As green men are burnt, resources dwindle and naturalists plunder for authentic Englishness, the hunt for the grail-like 'Silver Globe' continues. Back in 2014, the story was first whispered; A mythical jaunt set to a motorik rhythm, played out in an overgrown forest of ideas: Jane Weaver’s ‘The Silver Globe’ was a conceptual delicacy – “a synth-ridden post-apocalyptic prog-pop opus based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences”. Since those heady beginnings, our heroine has time travelled to darker times and been celebrated for her glorious ‘Modern Kosmology’ (top album of 2017, here, there, everywhere). “A full-scale leap into the cosmic void of contemporary space rock” The Quietus “An album that melds cult cornerstones into a lean and thrillingly addictive slice of unearthly pop” **** - The Guardian
