Jane Weaver – Like An Aspen Leaf (Apricot LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Jane Weaver's early catalog often gets overshadowed by her later synth-driven work, but this 2002 release captures a rawer, more intimate side of one of Manchester's most restlessly creative voices. The apricot-colored vinyl pressing gives longtime fans and new listeners alike a reason to return to a quiet record that rewards patience and close listening.
Originally released in 2002, Like An Aspen Leaf is a breathtaking smoky folk opus spiked with Americana longing. Nuanced with the help of members of Elbow, Voice Of The Seven Woods and Andy Votel, it emanates from a baroque pop netherworld, soundtracked by songs of regret, pinpricked by evocative melodies and sumptuous harmonies, and peppered with plaintive swathes of cello and a suitably meandering piano that lurks behind Jane's minor chords. Now remastered for the modern age, Like An Aspen Leaf is a bewitching seven-song set filled with aching melancholy. ""These are urban poems, reflecting frailties in urban landscapes and finding great passions hiding between the lines of everyday conversation"" The Guardian
