Jane Weaver – Fallen By Watch Bird (Blue) [Colored Vinyl] (Crem) (Exp)

On it’s 15th anniversary The Fallen By Watch Bird is reissued as a special expanded edition with The Watchbird Alluminate, featuring reinterpretations by Demdike Stare, The Focus Group, Anworth Kirk, Emma Tricca and others. Originally released on Weaver’s own label Bird Records, it is a tapestry of psychedelic femme-folk-rock drawing influence from Eastern European children’s cinema, Germanic kunstmrchen, 70s television music and 80s electronic scores. Steeped in synths and mysticism, this fully realised conceptual record weaves imagery of absent sailors, telekinesis, bird messengers and white witchcraft alongside pagan themes of death and rebirth. A formative masterpiece from her ever-growing discography, The Fallen By Watch Bird continued to build on the themes of it’s predecessor (Like An Aspen Leaf) and innovative production techniques developed in her earlier releases.Presented across seven chapters it features performances from Septime Soeur Wen
