Description
In the madrigal-strewn world of neo folk-psychedelia, the queen of drones holds courtIn this late teen decade, as green men are burnt, resources dwindle and naturalists plunder for authentic Englishness, the hunt for the grail-like Silver Globe continues. Back in 2014, the story was first whispered; A mythical jaunt set to a motorik rhythm, played out in an overgrown forest of ideas: Jane Weavers The Silver Globe was a conceptual delicacy a synth-ridden post-apocalyptic prog-pop opus based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences. Since those heady beginnings, our heroine has time travelled to darker times and been celebrated for her glorious Modern Kosmology (top album of 2017, here, there, everywhere).

As a child of the 1970s I can thank my friends brothers for their space rock record collections and concept album sleeves that I would spend hours looking at, then my first love for Kate Bush followed by a heavy dose of disco and synth pop. I guess The Silver Globe is just a subconscious inspired imprint of those things that have never left me, married with an accidental viewing of a vintage Polish sci-fi film that was so bizarre I couldnt stop thinking about it and so it became my muse Jane Weaver.
