Love in Constant Spectacle, Jane Weaver

Have been listening to Jane Weaver’s Love in Constant Spectacle for a couple of weeks now. Such a carefully constructed, intimate and gentle album which builds a fragile melancholic voice over dreamy motorik beats.

Weaver’s gentle psychedelic pastoralism (which is the best way I think I can describe it) is something I find incredibly appealing in the same way as I enjoy late 60s poppy-psychedelia (The United States of America), the tail-end of 1970s acid-folk or, more recently, a seminal band like Broadcast. Somehow I’d not heard of Weaver before so listening to her previous albums over a 20-year career is also proving to be an absolute joy.

Tracks I particularly like: Perfect Storm, Emotional Components, Love in Constant Spectacle, Motif, Romantic Worlds – though need to say that there’s not a song on this album that I don’t think is great.
