JANE WEAVER - Flock LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition cream colour vinyl.
Flock seems to flown slightly under the radar in terms of breaking through with some wider recognition that its quality deserves.
This is a stellar collection of psychedelic pop songs and is one of 2021's best albums and it deserves a lot more love.
Well, to say just psychedelic pop is to pigeonhole it unfairly. There's a lot of variety here once you drill down into it: The Revolution of Super Visions is a throwback to Eno-era Roxy music, Stages of Phases sits somewhere between Lonerism-era Tame Impala and Goldfrapp's better moments, the weird funk flourishes of Pyramid Schemes really hit the spot and the closing track, Solarised is a hidden synth pop classic. And everything is executed with confidence and panache.
