Weaver Twins - Fayre

If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise… Recorded in a barn in deepest, darkest Devon, the debut album from the Weaver Twins is a vividly-realized excursion into the frazzled psych-pop wilderness. Blending bucolic Wicker Man-style folk with edgy urban post-punk poise, ‘Fayre’ tingles with bleak energy and surreal poetry.

Starting with the near-perfect opening track ‘Ugly Children’ the highlights come thick and fast. This skanking slice of ASBO-indie is more potent than a switchblade in the guts, and it should come with the words ‘HIT SINGLE’ tattooed across its knuckles! ‘Mounting The Scaffold’ is a tongue-twisting folk stomp that marries a methylated growl with a frenzied sense of purpose to terrific effect. Next up is the ruptured swagger of ‘Black Dues’ – a potent pop song with a tribal groove and a dark heart.

‘Jesu Sails On’ is a frazzled liquid drone that sees the Twins tiptoeing through the apocalypse, and the space-folk mood is cranked up even further with the monumental ‘Grrl In Dolorous Blue’, a cinematic smoke and magick epic. However, one of the most unexpectedly impressive moments is ‘Dart’ a throbbing dose of electro paranoia which blends folky whispers with corroded beats to mesmerizing effect. Simultaneously sweet and menacing, the track sums up this band’s knack for fuzzy leftfield pop supremacy.

Ambitious, spaced-out and richly textured ‘Fayre’ is a bleary-eyed minor classic. Watch as the Weaver Twins crawl out of the undergrowth and set about rattling British pop music’s rusty cage!
