RELEASE DATE
9/2/2016
LP version. 2011 release. Remaining faithful to her influences of Germanic märchen tales, Eastern European children's cinema and mechanical pop music,
Jane Weaver
expands her critically acclaimed
Fallen By Watchbird
(BMS 022CD, 2010) concept album with
The Watchbird Alluminate
, a ten chapter sequel-of-sorts, by employing a cast of new actors and narrators to reinterpret her surreal "cosmic aquatic folklore" twelve months after the first installment. Here, Jane experiments with volks-music in its purest, most innocent form using modern tools to retell and recycle second hand stories. Inspired by post-war cinematic interpretations and hand-me-down mistranslations of global folk tales Jane has collaborated with a close-knit group of musicians, noisemakers and vocalists/narrators to create automatic-music and re-illuminate an eleven-page novella about telepathy, technology, lost-love, wiccan, war and watchbirds. As part of ongoing voice and electronic experiments with the people behind Pre-Cert Records The
Watchbird Alluminate
includes a wordless vocal introduction and interlude from both
Demdike Stare
and the elusive
Anworth Kirk
while the spoken-word narrative of Finders Keepers' lost American pop folk singer
Susan Christie
is reinterpreted by Ghostbox's
Focus Group
with results comparable to
Ruth White
's 1968 electronic/vox interpretations of
Baudelaire
's
Flowers Of Evil
(1857). Jane's own Bird Records label roster contributes two new cover versions of Weaver's self-penned tracks re-sung by Italian singer
Emma Tricca
and Rochdale's time-slipped falsetto soloist
Magpahi
(in a track evokes cinematic scenes from
Night Of The Hunter
(1955) or
The Innocents
(1961)). Elsewhere vintage soft-pop royalty appears in the form of a lead vocal from
Wendy & Bonnie
's,
Wendy Flower
, a close friend and confidant of Jane's since their first collaborations in New York and London in 2006 at the request of
Jarvis Cocker
for his guest curation at the Meltdown festival. Other lead performances from Weaver add a new poetic twist to the story in both solo capacity and alongside
Samandtheplants
'
Sam McLoughlin
whose Supernatural Lancashire library project (with
Alison Cooper
) from 2010 still resonates as one of the finest releases of 2010. With a unique approach to making non-linear mechanical music this pop-up collective adds a further creative perspective to the oft mistreated "concept album" virtually eliminating genre distinction in favor of communal noise - a unique product of genuinely independent music in 2011 which continues to sprout further branches.
