Jane Weaver: moving forward with a little help from her friends.
PRESS/NIC CHAPMAN
Jane Weaver is set to return with her brand-new album, Love In Constant Spectacle, which is out on April 5 via Fire Records. Produced by John Parish – arguably best known for his production work with PJ Harvey, folk-proggers This Is The Kit and singer-songwriter Aldous Harding – the fulllength release also marks the first time that she’s worked with a producer outside of her immediate creative circle.
“I’ve always wanted to work with John,” admits Weaver,“but I got in touch with him accidentally saying, ‘I want to do a new album and get outside of Manchester and what’s Bristol like to work in? I’d jump at the chance to work with you.’ And he said, ‘Well, actually, I’ve got a bit of a gap between now and when I start working with PJ Harvey.’So that’s what we did. It was sort of like, ‘Right, let’s do this thing!’ It was like flying by the seat of your pants. So that’s what happened.”
