Jane Weaver – Like An Aspen Leaf (CD)
Product Details
Before the maximalist psychedelic explorations that would define her later work, Jane Weaver was crafting something quieter and just as singular. Released on Andy Votel's Twisted Nerve label, Like An Aspen Leaf captures a songwriter operating close to the bone, drawing on the same Manchester underground that nurtured a generation of experimentalists while pointing somewhere far more lonesome and internal.
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 Five Star!
