Thursday music corner: Jane Weaver (b.1972) is an English singer-songwriter who originally performed with the Britpop group Kill Laura in the 1990s and her self-formed group Misty Dixon in the early 2000s. In her solo career since the late 1990s Weaver has released 13 albums including two under the name of her alter-ego Fenella. Weaver's eleventh album, Flock, released in 2021, was preceded by the single The Revolution of Super Visions.
According to the Guardian's Alex Petridis, the experimental electronic psychedelia of Flock 'still very clearly a Jane Weaver album, rooted in the influences that informed Modern Kosmology and its predecessor The Silver Globe: the ghost of Brummie experimentalists Broadcast haunts opener Heartlow; the rhythmic pulse that underpins Modern Reputation owes a clear debut to krautrock pioneers Neu!; the title track opens with glimmering chimes and a mass of flute samples that wouldn’t sound out of place on Weaver’s acid-folk inspired album The Fallen By Watch Bird'.
