September 10, 2018 For Immediate Release JANE WEAVER’S THE SILVER GLOBE TO BE REISSUED NOVEMBER 9TH VIA FIRE RECORDS Initially released in 2014, Jane Weaver’s The Silver Globe was a conceptual delicacy -- a mythical jaunt set to a motorik rhythm, played out in an overgrown forest of ideas. Described in the album’s original press release, it was “a synth-ridden post-apocalyptic prog-pop opus based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences.” After a minimal stateside release, Fire Records is now reissuing the album on November 9th on limited-edition clear vinyl with the existing artwork updated by Andy Votel and on CD in a card wallet. Featuring tracks co-produced by David Holmes, guest appearances by Australian vintage space-rockers Cybotron, a recycled chunk of a Hawkwind track, an intricate Damon Gough guitar solo, some Suzanne Ciani waves and post production, plus remix flourishes by Andy Votel, The Silver Globe is a shiny beautifully polished gem. It’s “a full-scale leap into the cosmic void of contemporary space rock” (Quietus). “As a child of the 1970s I can thank my friends’ brothers for their space rock record collections and concept album sleeves that I would spend hours looking at, then my first love for Kate Bush followed by a heavy dose of disco and synth pop,” says Weaver. “I guess The Silver Globe is just a subconscious inspired imprint of those things that have never left me, married with an accidental viewing of a vintage Polish sci-fi film that was so bizarre I couldn’t stop thinking about it and so it became my muse.” Since those heady beginnings, Weaver has been celebrated for her Modern Kosmology, “an album that melds cult cornerstones into a lean and thrillingly addictive slice of unearthly pop” (Guardian). It was named a top 10 album of 2017 by the likes of MOJO, Rough Trade and Drowned in Sound, while the Guardian, Uncut, The Quietus, and Q placed it in their top 25. Stream Jane Weaver’s The Silver Globe – https://fire-records.lnk.to/SilverGlobePM Praise for The Silver Globe: "One of those cut-glass, unfailingly true English voices, completely untouched by even the slightest tinge of R&B, that have the ability to make a song sound like the soundtrack to a chilly drawing room. Weaver’s voice is the key to the album: she can’t help but add melody, even when what lies beneath is the drone." – The Guardian, 4/5 stars “Atmospheric, deeply odd, funky and wistful, but never less than superb.” – Uncut, 8/10 "The Silver Globe [leaves] no doubt that she is amongst today's most striking sonic auteurs." – MOJO, 4/5 stars “[Jane Weaver’s] main achievement here is the fact that she effortlessly distills aspects of both the early electronic/library music/hauntology craze, and her psych folk grounding, into one highly accessible album. This is no mean feat -- while these genres can prove to be notoriously esoteric and abstract, there are inventive moments here which wouldn't sound out of place on mainstream alternative radio.” – All Music, 4.5/5 stars Jane Weaver – Loops In The Secret Society UK Tour Dates: Oct. 17 – The Pleasance, Edinburgh Oct. 18 – Leaf, Liverpool Oct. 21 – Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester Oct. 30 – City Varieties, Leeds Nov. 6 – Hackney Arts Centre, London Nov. 7 – Trinity Centre, Bristol Nov. 8 – Komedia, Brighton Nov. 9 – Arts Theatre, Nottingham Download hi-res press images and album art – www.pitchperfectpr.com/jane-weaver/ Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Fire Records For more information, contact: Jessica Linker | Pitch Perfect PR – [email protected], 773-271-6844 .

We hope that by the time you read this you will have had a smooth arrival to your camping pitch, that the weather is agreeable, and that you are looking forward to some live music & comedy! Our intent with Base Camp Plus was always to design an event that you can feel safe at, that we are comfortable putting on, but also one where you can party (should you want to!). Base Camp Plus has always been sold as socially distanced – an event that would fit within Step 3 restrictions. At certain times over the last 4 months this strategy has gone from seeming sensible, to seeming too conservative, to seeming still too risky, and everything in-between and back again… but with the recent increases in the daily COVID case numbers the balance seems about right. We have some information regarding specific COVID mitigations – these are contained in an additional sheet that accompanies this programme. For everyone’s safety we expect our guests to abide by these points. Please read carefully and understand that they may be subject to revision over the weekend. We are excited to be seeing you all again after what we have all been through. We hope this weekend in Baldersby Park will lodge firmly in your collective memories and be remembered as marking the beginning of the end of this awful period.

Rogers explains that the resurgence of interest in this “eccentric folk music” is due in part to the re-release of Vashti Bunyan’s Just Another Diamond Day, originally released in 1970, and re-released in 2000. The “psychedelic,” “eccentric,” or “freak” folk—as Bunyan’s music is now labelled—of the late 1960s and early
