“One More” is the lead single from Weaves‘ debut LP due out on June 17th via Kanine (US), and Memphis Industries . We get pretty excited around here whenever there is something new from Weaves. And this one is definitely exciting — more bold and raw than we’ve ever heard them.

“There’s a rush or intensity,” singer Jasmyn Burke tells All Songs Considered, “that comes with the imagery of nighttime that I wanted to incorporate with the tone and syncopation. It’s about extremities. One true love, one beautiful evening, one last fight. It can mean everything and nothing all in the same sentence.”

WEAVES – ” Weaves “

Having only released one EP and playing live as a band for little over a year, Weaves have quickly become an internationally buzzed about band. They were recently chosen as Rolling Stone’s “Band To Watch”, and have shared the stage with Constantines, Tune-Yards and Austra, playing such venues as Massey Hall and The Phoenix. Having been tagged as pop eclectics, seductive art-rockers and musicians with a delirious swirl, Weaves make bent-out-of-shape pop music that’s catchy and unpredictable. Their critically acclaimed debut EP was produced by Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals) and Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Fucked Up).

 

Formed by lead singer Jasmyn Burke and guitarist Morgan Waters, Weaves is a violent collision of soul, punk and pop. The tension between Burke’s affinity for topsy-turvy tunes and Waters’ ear for buoyant pop hooks makes for music that revels in fun, arty, noisy weirdness yet still maintain a level of accessibility. With the addition of a virtuosic rhythm section made up of Spencer Cole and Zach Bines, and you’ve got a band that’s slick yet slimy, backwards yet forward thinking, perhaps on the tip of collapsing.
