Out today, Jane Weaver releases a brand new remix from experimental pop duo MEMORIALS that coincides with her run of live dates across Europe and the UK. Both artists will share the stage in Hebden Bridge this December for a special end-of-year show at the legendary Trades Club.
Taken from her acclaimed new album, ‘Univers (MEMORIALS remix)’ is an upbeat and joyful alternative that brings a newfound energy to an exceptional partnership.
Taking time outside of their release schedule – their debut ‘Memorial Waterslides’ is out October 4th – MEMORIALS explain:
“We really enjoyed working with this song: speeding everything up, making tape loops of the vocals, extending the ending, and generally bringing a flavour of what we do in the recording of our own songs. Jane’s voice is so great, and building a new world for it to exist in was a treat.”
‘Love In Constant Spectacle’ evokes spectacular imagery and distils the artists’ vision in its purest form, elevating her inimitable sound and poetic vision to new heights. Recapturing the melancholy of her early work whilst propelling it forward, she sketches scenes as we watch new colours, shapes and languages emerge and fill the frame. It sees her taking measured steps towards a vivid, dreamlike record, that offers resolve in the face of life’s inevitability.
The foundations of Weaver’s sound are still evident – lush motorik drums, pulsating bass, custom modded synths and exotic fuzz pedals – but the stream is awash with scrabble piece poetry and Letraset lullabies leading to lush escapism, the free abandon that you’d associate with free jazz and the avant-garde. But, as determined and visionary as Weaver might be, ‘Love In Constant Spectacle’ wasn’t executed without assistance. Here we find a long mooted unison with Jane’s first ever producer, John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding), who has shared Weaver’s process in the surrounds of Rockfield Studios and Geoff Barrow’s Invada studio.
‘Love In Constant Spectacle’ is a voyage into undisclosed pastures, it’s a heartfelt manifesto from an artist that continues to boundlessly evolve with each chapter in her career.
