Apr 1, 2021This is truly a virtuosic tour de force. Every time you hear a new Jane Weaver album and think to yourself, well, that’s about it, there’s nowhere she can go from here, and then she goes to yet another level, forging still new paths.

UncutMar 3, 2021A fabulous treat it is too. [Apr 2021, p.37]

Mar 15, 2021Jane Weaver has produced what could rank as a career-best project. The best part is, though, that the elastic creativity which drives ‘Flock’ suggests that much more may lie ahead.

Mar 5, 2021Hidden mysteries of not, it’s impossible to be anything but charmed by this record.
-
Mar 5, 2021Flock is the work of a daring artist, a crafty writer and performer, and someone who is always worth following to see what kind of great things she might do in the future.
-
Mar 5, 2021Flock brings together the best of all Weaver's diverse genre colliding worlds in one glorious sitting.

Mar 4, 2021Avid listeners have known all long just how funky, playful and revolutionary she’s been, a genuine musical magpie, but sat barefoot on the cover in the centre of a tenement of abstract coloured birdhouses, her eyes closed, on this record this Liver bird’s calling any stragglers back to the roost.

Mar 4, 2021It feels genuinely different and exhilarating.

Mar 3, 2021While the bossa nova drum machine on “All the Things You Do” and the scratchy funk guitars on “Pyramid Schemes” introduce a bit of welcome variety, both songs wear out their welcome over the course of their combined 10-minute runtime. Thankfully, “Solarised” takes the album out on a high with its swooshing synth pads underpinned by a hard-grooving bassline and soaring vocal melody. It’s a fitting close to a vibrant collection of tunes.

MojoMar 3, 2021Each track is a combination of the cosmic and the deliberate. ... What connects these songs is Weaver's unearthly voice. [Apr 2021, p.86]
-
Mar 3, 2021This most genuine version of herself is more than good enough to stand on its own.
-
Mar 3, 2021Dancefloor-friendly pop music, but of a variety that remains intoxicatingly unmoored to the conventions and codes of the earthly realm.
