Heaven On Fire
Various Artists
‘Heaven On Fire’ is a chilled-out coming of age, made by a new set of visionaries, lovingly assembled by Jane Weaver; a state-of-the-label address that gathers Vanishing Twin, Marina Allen, Mega Bog, Virginia Wing, Islet, Faten Kanaan, Brigid Mae Power and Okkyung Lee.
- Ltd Edition ‘Loves Records Stores’ Red Vinyl
£16.00
In the age of the playlist, in times where the recommender is royalty, Jane Weaver threads together the spookily hauntological strains of recent Fire releases; sub-navigating styles and genres to create a soundtrack of neo-folk futurism that nods to psychedelia, dream-pop and electronica.

As the fire smoulders the assembled cast trade tales and harmonies, wafted away on a heavenly breeze; this is the sound of 2021, a collision of creative minds, blending eerie folk, analogue electronica, dislocated jazz, ambient experimentalism and somnambulant soul in celebration of new times, it’s a spine tingling soundtrack.
Our curator, Jane Weaver was weaned on pop music – from Chicago to the Rollers – before a love of rare music, films and books led her to Broadcast, David Axelrod, Chilean Psych and much much more. The perfect education.
‘Heaven On Fire’ features the title track of Jane Weaver’s critically-acclaimed ‘Flock’ album; plus the title track of Vanishing Twin’s third opus ‘Ookii Gekkou’; the gorgeous ‘Ophelia’ from Marina Allen’s debut ‘Candlepower’; Mega Bog’s ‘Station To Station’ from her recently released ‘Life, and Another’; ‘St Francis Fountain’ from Virginia Wing’s new album; Gwenno’s remix of Islet’s ‘Geese’; Lucy Gooch’s ‘Rain’s Break’ from her first Fire release; ‘Rêve-Rivière’ from Faten Kanaan’s exotic ‘A Mythology Of Circles’; Brigid Mae Power’s ‘We Weren’t Sure’ from her celebrated Fire debut of last year ‘Head Above The Water’; and US based Korean musician Okkyung Lee’s ambient gem ‘Here We Are (Once Again)’.
Play on repeat.
