This quirky pop band from Toronto reminds me of Micachu or tUnE-yArDs but less weird. Their debut EP is really good but they are even better live where charismatic singer Jasmyn Burke’s personality shines through. They were the best new band I saw last year. Also check out their 2016 self-titled LP on Buzz/Kanine/Memphis
One of the best things about Weaves is the way their music seems to deconstruct and rebuild standard rock tropes on the spot — “bent pop,” they call it. So it’s especially exciting to hear the Toronto take on straightforward hits, like their cover of a true classic, the Beatles’ “Help!” It’s a similarly fractured collection of squelches and sighs, one that exudes a different sort of desperation than we’re accustomed to from the Fab Four. They are a must see live catch them at Nottingham Bodega this saturday
