WEAVES Wide Open (2017 UK/EU limited edition 11-track LP pressed on White Vinyl - Jokingly referred as their “Americana” record, the album [without discarding the punky pyrotechnics that defined their first LP], displays an expansive and anthemic quality in songs like the opener #53 and the sweeping Walkaway, that makes the joke ring half true. From the glammy Saturday night strut of Slicked, to the stripped-down, pedal steel abetted torch song Wide Open, to the searing Scream, a warped duet with Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq that likely constitutes Weaves' wildest recording to date, the album captures a band for whom exploration is a compulsion making a self-assured step into the unknown. The gatefold picture sleeve has the lyrics printed across the inside while the vinyl looks barely played)
