Exclusive independent record stores version with metallic foilprint sleeve and poster

On her 2014 album, The Silver Globe, Jane Weaver took a stepaway from the gentle psych-folk she had been making into somethingmore German and droning. Abetted by a wide array of synthesizers,she wrapped her dreamlike songs in cushy waves of sound for a largepart of the album. On 2017's Modern Kosmology, Weaver divesheadlong into dream pop that's filtered through vintagesynthesizers, motorik beats, and jangling guitars. Playing most ofthe instruments herself, with help from the occasional drummer orguitarist, she creates a world of sound that envelops the listenerin much the same way that the tendrils of synths wrap around herrich, woody vocals. From the opening notes of the album, she weavesa sonic spell that doesn't break, or even bend. The tempos maychange, the mood may shift a bit here and there, the arrangementmay go from dense to sparse, but through it all Weaver conducts thesound like a magician in full command of her powers. There arehints of Stereolab and Broadcast, echoes of Can and Harmonia,shades of Spectrum, and nods to synth pioneers like Suzanne Ciani,but when the album is done, it mainly feels like a puremanifestation of Weaver's vision. Songs like "Did You SeeButterflies?" and "Loops in the Secret Society" certainly owe agreat debt to artists of the past, but the way Weaver puts togetherthe pieces is fresh and entrancing. The record really takes offwhen she breaks out of the mood established on those aforementionedtracks and adds unexpected elements, like the heavy post-rock drumson the pulsating "The Architect" and the sawing violins andstentorian vocals of guest Malcolm Mooney of Can on the utterlyhypnotic "Ravenspoint." Not only do these tracks serve to add anextra bit of dynamic tension to the album, they also point to moreexploratory avenues Weaver could attempt in the future now thatshe's mastered synth-heavy dream pop. The Silver Globe was Weaver'scoming-out party; Modern Kosmology serves notice that she's here tostay. The opening track H.A.K. is titled after Hilma af Klint, apioneering Swedish abstract painter
