I like it. It's meditative and trance-y and somewhere between indie rock and 70s psychedelia and bedroom pop. If I listen to it again, it might be a five. The cool thing is, I could see myself listening to it closely or just having it on in the background and liking it both ways.
Very much my jam! Super soft dreamy vocals, driving krautrocky motorik rhythms, luscious indie pop melodies... Fave track - "H>A>K", but "Did You See Butterfiles", "Slow Motion", "The Architect", and "I Wish" could all take the top spot too on a different listen!
Muy buen disco. No conocía está artista, me gusta mucho. Las guitarras me hacen acordar a Sonic youth y su voz genera un trance
I have a soft spot for Ethereal femme voices like this one, and the production felt post-apocalyptic in a great way.
I've never heard of her before but this is a really incredible piece of psychedelic pop! Very interesting inclusion here but I'm happy to have discovered it.
the transitionssssssssss. everything is so interesting. Did you see butterflies is phenomenal. Love the jazz that happens in the title track.
Amé este disco y no la conocía a ella para nada, ya escuché más y creo que me haré fan. En fin, como que condensa muchas de las cosas que me gustan en la música. "The Architect", rolón. 10/10
I think this is the first album so far not to have it's own Wikipedia page, so was going in blind. Never heard of Jane Weaver but have to say after listening to this, I'm intregued to hear the rest of her discography. I listened to this twice in one day and it still sounded fresh. I cannot think of one thing wrong about this album. The music is dreamy yet not sleepy, the jamming sections are full of mystic rhythms that keeps you on your toes, and Weaver's vocals are so pleasant to hear. Favourite songs are H>V>K, Modern Kosmology, The Architect, and I Wish. No bad songs on here and it flows perfectly.
she looks like a british kylie. idk. we'll see. i really liked this! like how i wish that Joan Baez album had sounded.
This album is REALLY good. I hadn't heard of Jane Weaver before and I'm surprised she isn't more known. This album is such a groove. 100% relistening. Favorite Tracks: Did You See Butterflies? and The Architect
yeah this album was WHACK. it was so dope. it reminded me of synth pop acts like US girls or the knife. i listened to this album like 7 times. i just loved it.
Lite Lush-känsla över ganska många låtar, inte minst Did You See Butterflies. Slow Motion är 5/5. Coolt folk-sound blandat med drömpop.
Very interesting, strongly reminiscent of Stereolab, and in some parts aspects of the Velvet Underground. A couple of bland tracks but mostly pretty great.
I. Loved. This. Shades of Laurie Anderson's Superman. Electronic sounds with a more spoken-word lyrical vibe. I could listen to it for days. Don't know that I'd go to a concert or blast it in my car, but it was excellent music to just vibe to.
4.4 - Surprised I hadn’t heard this before. It’s in my Broadcast, Stereolab wheelhouse. Beautiful vocals, interesting bleeps and bloops, and use of noise. An album to enjoy from beginning to end.
Very melodic almost hypnotic voice. Electronic backing, but very calm listening. I like it!
Not my usual style but I enjoyed the album. The first song is a bit weird but I liked the other ones a lot. They sound fresh and unusual but in a nice way.
First really new albums we've had ayyy. I really enjoyed it, as with most of the new stuff it's completely weird and unique but for once it really worked imo
A really pleasant surprise. I had no expectations going in and this album was good. Experimenting with a few different sounds on the record but the album as a whole is great.
Pretty cool! Good vibes. I enjoyed listening to this. My fave track for now is The Valley.
I've never heard of Jane Weaver and frankly, sounds like she'd be a dental hygienist. Though a little slow in places, this album brings us into the 20th century. It's nice to listen to something more contemporary than discovering old classics that I missed. The album starts off strong. Jane sounds like Stereolab or School of Seven Bells with a hint of Daft Punk, Postal Service and even some Cocteau Twins thrown in. But tapers off toward the end with songs like Valley, which is a slow and whiny or Ravenspoint which includes traditional instrumentation and dabbles in Psychedelia. The first listen was good, but the second grew on me. Despite the tail end of the album, there's enough of a foundation to expect good things from this hygienist in the future. I even found myself meandering off the reservation and exploring her new release 'Flock' which I immediately enjoyed.
What a pleasant surprise! H>A>K and The Architect are awesome. The whole thing is pretty good. Not my style but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Bought this on a whim when it was released. I liked it so much, I bought the next release.
Texture and quality, heavy and interesting, not sure how much of a fixture it could be
Nice album. Weaver is a pleasant enough singer, and the instrumentation is really easy to listen to. This is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me... Since today is a holiday, 4 stars it must be!
English, 10s, Alternative/Electronic Rock + Charming, Fairy, Atmosphere, Complexed = Female, Electro, Alike - Maybe boring {3/10} [4/5]
It's got motorik beats and synths all over it. Of course I like it. Even got Malcolm Mooney on "Ravenspoint"! Love the balance of instruments and electronics. I'm a sucker for female voices paired with electronic music.
I enjoyed this, seems interesting and unique. Surprised it is so new. How objectively can we look at something 4 years old in the context of the last half century of music?
Is this a synthwave album? this might be a synthwave album. Hell yea. Though its not like some cheeseball synth emulation, there is actually a really well crafted sonic vision on this one. The Architect slaps. Ravenspoint is weird.
I'd never heard of Jane Weaver before this album, but I'll certainly remember her name now. It was pretty good! I'm certainly glad I listened to it. I think it might drag on a little bit towards the end, but overall, very solid album.
I thought this was terrific. Bit of Charlotte Gainsbourgh, but of Velvet Underground bit of psychedelia.
I was very skeptical of this. I think very few albums from the last 5 years will have enough context to meet the criteria of the list. I have to say I loved this album. Great psych folky stuff going on here
Glorious dreamy synth-pop. Hints of Goldfrapp and a lil bit of Hot Chip in there too - can't believe I hadn't discovered Jane Weaver before. I'm excited to listen to her other stuff. I'll defo be playing this album again too.
Pleasantly surprised by this one. Obviously a very much underground pick, and maybe not worthy of its status of one of the 1000 best albums of all time, but still very enjoyable with a good varied sound.
Had never heard of this artist before, but quite liked it. Dreamy synth pop that reminded me of Stereolab.
Not the status of a 1001 album generator album but, just another one of a massive amount of good albums that are released every year. I did not know this album, but some songs such as Slow Motion (the synths) and Loops in the Secret Society (the guitar) sounded very familiar to me. Clearly, Loops in the Secret Society is Velvet Underground. These songs and also the final two started to grow a bit on me. Vocals are OK too. I would buy this record and give it a 4 but I would never put it in a 1001 list!
Komplett vermessener Gedanke: wie schön es für mich gewesen wäre, hätte Jane Weaver die bis heute klaffende Lücke gefüllt, die Mary Hansens viel zu früher Tod bei Stereolab aufgerissen hat. Aber auch solo ist sie natürlich nichts weniger als fantastisch: Motorik-Kraut, flirrende Analogsynthflächen, Hypnosegesang - mehr braucht es nicht, um mich vor jede Klippe zu steuern, und das hier auch nur äußerst knapp an der 5 vorbei.
I admit, I had never heard of Jane Weaver until now. I've never really been into electronica or ambient dream-pop, so for my first listen I didn't care for it. I took a second (more focused) listen (late in the evening) and it paid off. The use of synths and other sounds has a trance-like quality that envelopes you with music full of depth and atmosphere. I didn't think I'd like it, but I'm pleased this album was suggested. I recommend it!
Very much enjoyed going album beautiful mood, gorgeous voice, warm lush instrumentation very inviting perfect for dark late night listening 4 🌟
This is a nice find. The kind of stuff I used to listen to all the time. I’d probably make the effort to go see her live if playing locally.
Having never heard of this album or artist I was pleasantly surprised. Huge Broadcast vibes throughout.
Really cool, I think i knew her already but never listened to the album in full. Nice discovery, i'll add it to my rotation list, plus from spotify it spawned a lot of nice related suggestions
Very surprised by this album -- didn't know what to expect. At first I was a little disinterested, but as I listened more I found lots to like. It grooves like Tame Impala with psychedelic influences. The vocals and overall vibe remind me of Charlotte Gainsbourg. It's not an everyday listen for me, but I'll add it to my library. Neat.
Sometimes an aesthetic just grabs you from word go. God knows I know not what this magical combination or way of combining things is, but damn this has it in spades. It lives not in the land of the olfactory, but I can smell it. I can smell it.
Sour Krautrock. Someone's been listening to Stereolab. Never judge a book by its cover? Well, you can judge this album by its name. Avant garde but not avant harde to listen to. Best Tracks: H>A>K; Did You See Butterflies?; Loops in the Secret Society
If the songwriting on here is just "pretty good" on average, it's the production that really elevates it to something special. Combining 2010s indie pop with psychedilia and driving programmed beats was the correct move, and it's engineered so effin' well.
El mejor disco que me ha sugerido esta página hasta el momento. A punto he estado de darle cinco estrellas. Tiene canciones realmente cósmicas.
Holy hell! Täysin tuntematon artisti mulle mutta tää kyl iski aika lujaa. Tosi kaunista ja nyanssirikasta. Pienillä jutuilla suuri merkitys. Meneviä biisejä olematta yhtään rankkoja tai liian poppiksia. Jatkoon jatkoon jatkoon!
Decent, maybe a little too ephemeral for me at times. Like it was very close to a music style I love, but not quite there.
loved this album. can't believe that I had never heard of her before. definitely will keep listening.
I loved both the music behind the vocals and the ethereal vocals. I definitely want to check more of her work out. You can definitely tell that she's a visual artist as well (or an all-around artist) because of her unique putting together of the pieces.
A lovely album by an artist I had not come across. The music was intelligent and intriguing at the same time. Will certainly be listening to more of this artist
One of the more enjoyable and cohesive albums I've ever listened to. The opening track wasn't all that great to me, but the rest of the album was good-to-great. The dreamy vocals mixed with the mostly electronic instrumentals created a unique atmosphere that is a joy to experience. Very reminiscent of indie rock mixed with bedroom pop mixed with electronic. So, so good. The transitions were also so much fun. Aside from a few, Weaver's transition from track-to-track was nearly perfect, and really helped to tie everything together. Aside from a few very small nitpicks, I greatly enjoyed just about everything this album has to offer.
Beetje vaag maar ook lekker. Sommige nummers doen me aan Ladytron denken. Mijn favorieten zijn "Slow Motion" en "Architect" ****
Like pretty much anyone on the reviews, I've never heard of her or this record and was pleasantly surprised.
I'd never heard of Jane Weaver before this album, but I'll certainly remember her name now. It was pretty good! I'm certainly glad I listened to it. I think it might drag on a little bit towards the end, but overall, very solid album.
Reminiscent of Embryonic and The Terror era Flaming Lips. Rating: 4/5 Playlist track: The Architect Date listened: 02/05/22
This gives me quite a few warm fuzzies. Especially during the bits closer to dance music, and when the objectively indulgent string arrangements come in. It may be naive, but "post-Britpop" neatly describes my initial reading. And like many a Britpop project, its songs never cohere into a sum greater than the parts.
Less than 5 years old, this record was a surprise for sure. Never heard of Jane Weaver before. This music is solid, I listened to the record she just released this year and enjoyed it too
This album was fine. I liked it for background listening and it was interesting in places but nothing to rave about.
I've had to listen twice to work out how much I care... certain nice bits and tunes but some of it really quite boring. Interesting as possibly one of our most modern albums - 2017.
On albumoftheyear.com this Jane Weaver album is #159/160 for 2017. So I’ve at least sampled it before. I didn’t download it then, and I’m not going to download it now. If someone else was playing it, I wouldn’t mind listening to it again.
Another example of the Brit lean of this list. I'm surprised I've not heard of Jane Weaver on this side of the pond, esp. as it appears that she's made quite a splash over there. This album is quite listenable, with a chill vibes and an interesting pop/trance crossover feel. I get hits of Dido and Feist, but with Weaver's own unique voice. The sounds are sometimes retro, but don't feel particularly dated (at this time!). I would give this album future listenings, and will likely seek out some of her other works.
It's fine. But why is it on this list? I had never heard of it, so I wanted to see if it was a big deal in 2017 (big enough to include in 1001 albums you must listen to). I looked at 5 top 50 of 2017 lists (NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and to include the British perspective that seems heavily weighted on the list, The Guardian and NME). Jane Weaver's "Modern Kosmology" was on none of them.
I'm not sure why this record is on the list to be honest. It's fine, but that's all it is. Nothing jumped out at me as I listened.
Dit klonk verrassend leuk. Beetje psychedelische Auf Der Maur. Vrij recent maar niet eerder meegekregen.
I like the sound and overall ideas here, but it really flounders in its execution. I feel like I kept waiting for something bold or adventurous or unexpected, and never quite got it. A very safe record.
This album is just fine for someone who really loves St. Vincent. Slow Motion is a good song, but other than that I could take it or leave it.
Surprised by how much I liked it. The psych pop sound was nice back ground music. Would definitely check out more of her music
Smooth. chill. Beautiful in the background or for focus. It’s steadily grew on me throughout the day. This is a very interesting pivot for the list so far. I initially intended to ignore it and give a low ranking but listening further got me kinda hooked.
Exceeded my initially low expectations and poor impression to provide a solid soft and easy listening album. Probably not one I seek out consistently, but would be perfect to have on in the background to end an evening or enjoy a vice or two.
I liked everything except the vocal delivery. All the instrumentation was cool but if the vocals aren't my style it ruins an artist for me.
It's a fine album if inconsequential, but the entry in the book reaffirms my beliefs of the Anglocentrism of the list.
I'd heard about this album when it first came out and a friend recommended it- couldn't get into it then so I'm happy to be giving it another go. On the whole it was a pleasant listen from the driving motorik style opener to the more sun-hazed psychedelics of the last few tracks. The sequencing is done very well and it moves effortlessly through different moods. The middle stretch is superb- "Slow Motion" thru "The Architect" is what will bring me back for more listens. There's a lovely warm, analogue feel to the sound throughout and Weaver's voice glides above the music well. But there's just nothing very outlandish going on. It's not groundbreaking music and feels much more an exercise in atmospherics than songwriting. Not that there's anything wrong with that- today I'm rounding down to a 3*, but on a more generous day this might get a 4*. On paper it's everything I love, so frustrated it didn't hit more.
What an interesting album. I had not heard of her or heard any of her music, and this style is a departure from music I typically enjoy. Although at times some of the tracks get too frenetic for me, overall I liked listening to this and will come back to it. I also want to explore her other work. (Re-listening to the track "Valley." It's beautiful.)
I enjoyed this. Not come across Jane Weaver before. Definitely worth another listen I reckon. A steady 3* to start with but might well be a grower.
I wasn't sure what genre this would be - its sort of a dreamy electro-synth-pop. It's not bad, but I found the beats and some of the lyrics to be repetitive.
Feels like a flavor of the week that nobody's going to remember in a few years. They really need to let these albums breathe before putting them in a list like this. Best track: The Lightning Back
Not really my style. Trancy folk rock with a bit of jazzed up drums for flavor. Very well produced and the instrumentation is great. Vocals are decent.
The salt of the earth What is your impression? Elements of Air Surreal, ethereal, disconnection
Pleasant opening with a motorik beat. But it mostly just stays pleasant and not attention grabbing.
Kind of a boring album, nothing particularly bad about it some ok use of instruments and effects. Lots of ambient sounds a little trippy.
A bit "dreamy" for my usual taste, but I really enjoyed it. Some nice basslines and the womans voice is great. Beautiful and a little bit haunting.
Interesting and definitely full of depth – I feel like I need another listen. Reminded me a bit of Khadija Bonet. Can't believe I'd never heard of her!
Had never heard of Jane Weaver prior but was pleasantly surprised. Decent sound although nothing stood out as amazing. 3/5
Solid album by a stylistic magpie. Exploration and trying-on-for-size of different influences from someone who spends all their time listening to and making music. Some catchy, often substantial, nothing groundbreaking.
Sounded a lot like Portishead or Stereolab. Love the sound, but not sure who is deriving from whom.
I thought it was an interesting project, but nothing particularly stood out to me. There were some decent moments, but as a whole it did not click with me. Not bad enough to be a 2, so I will give it a 3.
Paikoin makeeta tunnelmaa ja tässä sentän oli uudeks levyks jotain vähän spessumpaa tarjolla.
Gute Electronics, Beats, Instrumentierung. Eine eigentlich gute Stimme, die aber zu vie seuselt und irgendwann bisschen nervt.
It's like pleasant and everything, but I've run it in the background 3 times without really paying attention and it's not made me focus at any point. Not really a top 1001 album ever is it?
Una bona descoberta. Vibes d'Au Revoir Simone per tot el disc i una sensibilitat a l'hora de traçar temes d'inspiració folk amb instruments electrònics que em fa posar l'artista al radar
I wish the Wikipedia article explain why this album is notable/significant/etc -- I thought this album was ok, but I feel like I'm probably missing something. It's not the type of music I gravitate towards naturally so I think I'd probably be able to get more out of it if I knew more about it.
Instantly thinking St. Vincent or Avant-grade type alternative here. This album is light and breezy. I find it acceptable as music. I am not going to remember it. I am not going to recommend it to anyone. It is the perfect example of a 2.5 star album. I will offer it a 3 because when I look back at my 2s, it is not as bad as those.
Suena bien pero no es un genero que me guste escuchar, el único tema que quizá vaya a escuchar de nuevo es did you see butterflies? pero de los demás no rescato ninguno, creo. Igual no estuvo mal
The album art and name are concerningly new agey. The font at the bottom reminds me of laser shows so that's something. Opening it up the track listing also seems crystal adjacent. OK here we go. Immediate impression it has the synths and general vibe I expected. But more energy and forward motion. I'm digging the layering of the vocals.
Best Song: The Architect. Give me more of whatever those background blips and bloops are. Worst Song: Loops In The Secret Society. A disappointingly generic rock groove. Overall: An chill and psychedelic album, although leans a bit too heavy on the chill at times. Just groovy enough to keep you interested, and just relaxed enough that it can be put on in the background without feeling intrusive.
I couldn't tell if this was synth-indie pop or synth-pop indie. Some tunes were basically 4 minute intros. I was expecting it to keep building but then it'd just hit cruising altitude and end. Tbf, those would make great modern prog rock tunes if explored. Other parts just feel immature. Jane Weaver apparently made this at age 45, but this kind of music is the realm of uni students. I'm ok with making this judgement. Overall: not awful by any stretch, but did honestly feel like a bit of a waste of time. 3/5.
Ethereal is the only word that comes to mind to describe this album. I'm not really one for soft wispy electronic music, but this was lovely to listen to this afternoon. Love the album artwork as well, the packaging accurately meshed with what was delivered.
I was listening to this album whilst trying to bash out a particularly complex proposal for work. I found that I'd quite often stop thinking about the presentation I was writing and pay more attention to the music. A little bit avant-garde and too-smart-for-you-peasant for my taste but i did find it demanded attention at least
Interesting choice for this list. It's good, sounds like StereoLab, but nothing stands out on first listen.
Jak on sie tutaj dostal, takie pytanie mozna zadac autorowi listy, ale jesli mialbym sie domyslac, to narodowosc artystki i grany gatunek, bo jak sam juz tytul wskazuje bedzie tutaj czepane z kosmicznego rokowania lub tez krautrock, ale, o zgrozo, jest to album z 2k17, wiec jak przystalo na nowozytna muzyke elektroniczno rokowa, wszystko brzmi tak samo, nie mozna okreslic pochodzenia dzwieku, bo wszystko jest tak idealne, jakby calosc byla tworzona na komputrze marki apple popijajac starbuksika, ale jednak po indyjsku, bo kto w tych czasach robi krautrockowe materialy na synthowych maszynach, szukajac nowych dzwiekow i technik ich reprodukcji, jest to calkiem inne odczucie dla ucha niz albumy fausta czy kraftwerka, ale tutaj jest jeszcze cos gorszego niz ta nadzwyczaj gladko i czysto zrobiona strona techniczno instrumetalna, wokal pani Jane, ktorego takze nie mozna uslyszec w naturalnym srodowisku, bo zawsze jest zastosowane jakies czary mary produkcyjne, najczestszym spelem w tym wypadku jest puszczenie wokalu na lewy kanal, natomiast na prawym zastosowanie opoznionego poglosu, opoznionego tylko minimalnie, ze sprawialo to wrazenie echa i przestrzeni, jest to jeden z tych rodzajow sesyjek sluchania, gdzie ciezko skupic sie na zrozumieniu liryki, bo jest ona tak, a nie inaczej dostarczona, trzeba dodac na plejke chocby jeden kawalek i moj wybor wacha sie pomiedzy architektem, a I wish, architekt zawiera prawdopodobnie sample, ktore gdzies juz slyszalem , dlatego tak mi sie wlasnie spodoboal, ten tu tu wedrujacy pomiedzy kanalami, natomaist I wish oferuje sklejenie pizdy przez Weaverke, wiec wreszcie mozna posluchac troche instrumentala, tym razem oddam zwycieski tytul architektowi, jako trakowi ktory pokazuje z najlepszej mozliwej strony te plyte, ktora mocnych stron nie tak duzo
I'm not really sure about this album, I#m not sure what it's doing or how it's making me feel. It is quite interesting but interestingness alone does not make for good enjoyable music. It appears to take itself a little too seriously.
Strong 4 to Light 5. I enjoyed: some of the more synth-heavy parts and the blending of folk and electronic, and when it gets more scattered. Finished on a strong note with the last 2 songs. I disliked: VOCALS GOD THEY ARE SO MEDIOCRE! Pretty weak songwriting at times so much meandering. Felt like a slog at a lot of points. It all felt so artistically safe, and unoriginal. Felt dan deaconish and was too Stereolab Something that wine moms call experimental. This is just wine mom music for the most part. I hope the next album is better.
A poppy psychedelic indie album. A unique and creative listen but doesn’t really cut it for me. The instrumentals are there but I never really enjoyed it. 3.8/10
Decent melody and production. Entrancing. But the vocals and lyrics are shallow and unenthusiastic.
Meh. Reminds me of listening through an okay album from radio rotation. Very repetitive, but towards the second half of the record, there are some interesting synth passages that remind me of LCD Soundsystem’s new stuff or Sylvan Esso FAV TRACKS: Loops In The Secret Society, The Architect, I Wish LEAVT FAV TRACKS: Did You See Butterflies?, Ravenspoint
This feels far too niche to be on the 1001 albums you must listen to before you die. It’s not bad, but it certainly isn’t amazing. There are a few good tracks, but it’s subpar all in all.
Krautig wie Stereolab/Broadcast, Stimme wie Stereolab, halt..schnell mal googlen, neee, doch nicht ...aber gewusst habe ich auch nicht, das die Stimme Stereolabs von einer gewissen Lætitia Sadier stammt, könnten es doch so gut wie eindeutig Jane Weaver sein. Womit wir schonmal beim `Problem wären: es ist 2017 und es hört sich an wie 1996. Dagegen ist per se nichts einzuwenden, aber wenn es sich dann wirklich 1:1 danach anhört eine B-Seiten Compilation oder ein Lost Album von Stereolab zu hören, dann setzt jemand die "Nummer-Sicher" richtig gut um, was im Endeffekt einfach nur schlecht endet; was soll diese Spitting-Image-Mimikry? Selbst Bands nach NEU! klangen niemals so, dass man dachte: "Oh! ein Album von NEU!, das ich nicht kenne!?" und DAS will für NEU! schon wass heissen - für Jane Weaver übrigens auch... idiotische 1+1=2.0
Weren’t any parts I actively disliked, but a lot of it just didn’t musically do it for me. Cool vibes, but the music itself is quite simple and uninteresting to me, and repetitive.
Reminds me if the band Berlin was smoking with Jefferson Airplane but in a future decade. It was ok
Thoroughly okay, from start to finish. Not really sure why an album like this deserves a place on the list in the first place.
Arguably the hardest album I have had to rank so far and the first one to really make me question why exactly it was included on this list. I was intrigued at first due to it being the newest album I have listened to so far as well as it being from an artist I have never heard of. I can genuinely say that I liked this album (didn't necessarily love it), but after giving it some more thought, I was left baffled as to its placement in the 1001 Albums You Should Hear Before You Die. This sounds harsh, but I didn't feel it did anything unique or overly interesting for an album that came out in 2017. Everything that I enjoyed has already done before, and I didn't find Jane to have a particularly standout voice. I ended up looking into this one a bit more after seeing that she has less than 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and this album does not even have a Wikipedia page (!). This isn't a mark of its quality at all as it is a fine album, but all of this really made me question why such a niche artist was selected as "required before you die" listening. I can only think of personal preference being a reason for its placement (maybe the author really likes this artist?). While I did like this one more than other albums I feel have a legitimate reason for being on this list, I do not feel the need to come back to it and do not understand why it was included over so many other amazing albums. 2.5/5.
Woof. This was pretty bad. Yet, I somehow don't feel like it deserves a 1. Maybe it does. It sounds like music you'd hear in a vegan grocery store or some establishment that sells crystals and incense and other hippie shit. Yet it didn't annoy me enough to warrant a 1. I guess I'm just feeling nice today. Seriously though, this is pretty bad. Stay away.
I had never heard of Jane Weaver previously. The album has a psychedelic, an electronic and pop feeI. There is not many recent albums that are psychedelic and electronic. Overall it is uninspiring and leaves really no impression. I have no need to ever listen to it again.
The production sounds great and the music is pleasant, but it is super krauted-out and all sounds the same after just a few songs. I'd give it another half star if I could.
I imagine this is what being able to breathe under water sounds like. And breathing underwater is low on my wish list.
Modern Kosmology is an apt title. It was a bit like reading a horoscope page on Facebook written by your aunt. I’m sure it is appealing to some but I did not connect to it at all.
Strange dreamy music that feels like I’ve smoked too much weed in an unfamiliar place with strange people, but in a not completely terrifying way...
pure garbage.... who's her target public anyway? Middle-aged women that believe in astrology?
Didn’t do it for me at all. She has a great voice but often stayed monotone and didn’t vary it much
The most generic indie pop I’ve ever heard. Who in their right mind puts this on the list?
Hypnotic. Did I just get mkultra'd? Listenable, but too much trance rhythm.
