Jane Weaver

Born in Liverpool on February 28, 1972, singer-songwriter Jane Weaver made her name with the alternative band Kill Laura between 1992 and 1997, before forming Misty Dixon in 2002, which produced the album Iced to Mode (2003). The death of one of the members, Dave Tyack, put an end to the adventure, and Jane Weaver resumed a solo career begun in 1998 with the album Supersister, which remained unreleased due to the death of manager and Manchester Records boss Rob Gretton. After the 2002 album Like an Aspen Leaf, featuring her husband Andy Votel, Dave Tyack, Rick Tomlinson and two musicians from the band Elbow, Jane Weaver returned in 2006 with Seven Day Smile, a collection of songs from the same period as Supersister. The opus is the first to be released on the label she created, Bird Records. The musician went on to record Cherlokalate (2007) and The Fallen by Watchbird (2010), followed by its remixed version, The Watchbird Alluminate (2011). Her next album The Silver Globe (2014), inspired by Andrzej Zulawski's film On the Silver Globe (1988), gave rise to a sequel on The Amber Light (2015), before a collaboration with former Can singer Malcolm Mooney on Modern Kosmology (2017). Between psychedelic folk, dream pop and electro, the musician continued with the double album Loops in the Secret Society and the soundtrack to Fehérlófia in 2019, followed by Flock (2021), inspired by Lebanese folk songs. Praised by music critics, this was followed by a second collaboration with Fenella, Peter Philipson and Raz Ullah for The Metallic Index (2022), and in 2024, Love in Constant Spectacle, produced with John Parish.
