Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology [Tidal] (2017)
Every so often I catch the bus (reluctantly) to Richmond. (This endlessly sprawling and souless “location” where I just happen to work, would never be on any of my “favourite-places-to-be” list.

commentsOK, I won’t piss around. This is one of the most pretentious, grandiose and utterly brilliant albums in my entire collection.
commentsIt’s a hard job staying relevant in the music world when what is deemed “the best years” are close to 25 years ago.
commentsIt’s a mixed bag for me this one. Some of the more experimental stuff grates but then the record completely absolves itself with some incredibly hooky bass-lines and riffs and several songs to die for.
commentsThese dudes started off as a post-new-wave, gothy-punk-avant-garde-noise-band. (It’s a proper musical genre, I’m telling you!) However, I didn’t become aware of them until they morphed into a fully fledged white boy funk band and five albums into their 4AD label tenure.
