Jane Weaver announces new album Modern Kosmology on limited vinyl

With support from Can’s Malcolm Mooney.

Jane Weaver will release her sixth studio album, Modern Kosmology, on vinyl via Fire Records.

Despite boasting a discography spanning three decades, the project is the first time Weaver has taken uninterrupted recording time to finish an album start-to-finish and was recorded using all-analogue vintage machinery.

“Modern Kosmology is the result of a scientist of popular song gone rogue,” says the label. “Here we find a model student of second-hand krautrock, female punk, hard-subbed new-wave, synthesiser skip-finds and unpronounceable worldly feminine pop who’s finally reached her eureka moment.”

The album features Can’s Malcolm Mooney plus a squad of Mancunian drummers and guitarist to punctuate and expand Weaver’s synth-heavy sound. You can hear the lead single ‘Slow Motion’ above.

As well as regular vinyl, the LP will be released as a limited edition with a deluxe metallic print sleeve, including a fold out poster. Due on 19th May, place pre-orders here.
