Flock Cream Vinyl

lsquoFlockrsquo is the record that Jane Weaver always wanted to make, the most genuine version of herself, complete with unpretentious DayGlo pop sensibilities, wit, kindness, humour and glamour. A consciously positive vision for negative times, a brooding and ethereal creation. The album features an untested new fusion of seemingly unrelated compounds fused into an ecofriendly hum pop music for postnewnormal times. Created from elements that should never date, its pop music reinvented. Still prevalent are the cosmic sounds, but lsquoFlockrsquo is a natural rebellion to the recent releases which sees her decidedly move away from conceptual roots in favour of writing pop music. Produced on a complicated diet of bygone Lebanese torch songs, 1980s Russian Aerobics records and Australian Punk. Amongst this broadcast of glistening sounds is lsquoThe Revolution Of Super Visionsrsquo, an untelevised Mothership connection, with Prince floating by as he plays scratchy guitar it also features a funky whackamole bass line and synth worms.nbspnbsp It underlines the discordant pop vibe that permeates lsquoFlockrsquo and concludes on lsquoSolarisedrsquo, a supercatchy, totally infectious apocalypse, a radiofriendly groove for last dance lovers clinging together in an effort to save themselves before the end of the night. The musicianrsquos exposure to an abundance of lost records served as a reminder that you still feel like an outsider in this world and that by overcoming fears you can achieve artistic freedom. Jane Weaver continues to metamorphisehellipnbsp ldquoA mindexpanding delight, devoid of retro posturing.rdquo The Guardiannbsp ldquoOminous and luminous, expansively spacious and sonically imploding, scientific, ephemeral and eternalrdquo The Quietus
