Jane Weaver，来自英国的一名独立民谣女歌手，作品带着极其Lofi的味道，散发着淡淡忧伤和简约柔美的气质。虽然她只是一位极其低调随性的歌手，但却是值得我们细细聆听的一位感性歌者。在独立音乐界像Jane Weaver这样的默默无闻歌手其实还有很多，但有时往往我们会被他们的某段小旋律深深迷住，这大概也许就是独立音乐的魅力之处吧。她的音乐是在前段日子某位朋友向我特别推荐的，她的专辑似乎在网络上很难寻觅到，特别感谢二号群的四脚蜻蜓帮忙找到了她为数不多的几张作品，一并推荐了出来。
据说Jane Weaver与John Lennon生于同一家医院，受过严格的天主教教育，她的容貌足以成为一个成功的流行歌手，但是她选择了一种毫不张扬的音乐，并且也不加任何的修饰和包装。 其实她的音乐做得还是满精致的，甚至可以放在电影中而毫不为过。虽然集歌者、吉他、钢琴、鼓几家之长为一身的女歌手不只她一个，但是，她的专确实已经做到同类歌手中的顶尖水平。她创作的音乐柔软温暖，且每首都有各自的特点。她出色的创作能力和对配乐的处理，在处女作《Like An Aspen Leaf》的同名单曲《Like An Aspen Leaf》中展露无遗，而歌词则贴近内心，充满自省。时隔四年，她才推出她的第二张专辑《Sever Day Smile》。这个貌似甜美的女声，站在黑暗的中心，独自低首吟唱。
Album Description:
Jane Weaver is a rare creature in the vanity-stricken world of female singers, and perhaps with a more generous roll of the dice we might all have heard of her! Serving her apprenticeship in the mid-nineties girl-guitar-pop outfit Kill Laura, Weaver would go on to front Twisted Nerve's Misty Dixon and release her critically acclaimed solo mini-album, "Like An Aspen Leaf".
It was, however, somewhere in-between that she secured a record deal with Mancunian music maverick Rob Gretton's Manchester Records. Working and playing live with the likes of Andy Votel, Badly Drawn Boy and Doves, the latter would help her to record a number of acclaimed singles and a debut solo album. However, when Rob Gretton sadly died his label went with him and the album never saw the light of day - until now!
At last, available for the first time on the brand new Cherry Red Records imprint, Bird Records, "Seven Day Smile" – Jane Weaver's debut album proper featuring the effable talents of Doves as backing band - avoids the anthemic arm-wavers, preferring heart-rending songs of fragile beauty. Both haunting and beautiful in equal measure, Weaver delivers a spellbinding collection of songs fusing gorgeous melodies, hypnotic vocal harmonies and nostalgic production with generous measures of Farfisa organ, melodica and understated guitars.
Deeply personal, musically adept and heartfelt in the extreme, from the heart warming opener 'Slow Song' through to the luscious 'You're A Riot', this album will seduce and entrance you - melting all but the cruellest of hearts. Jane will be touring the UK soon to promote this album featuring Manchester's Doves as backing band and production from Andy Votel (Twisted Nerve).
