"The whole band is simply a sonic treat." - NPR
"A Toronto-based foursome who bend pop tropes as if they're made of Silly Putty, Weaves' idiosyncratic songs play with genre and form while vocalist Jasmyn Burke's precisely calibrated alto (which takes cues from Siouxsie as much as Aaliyah) leads the way." - Rolling Stone
"One More" is a harebrained avalanche of guitars that intensify with every new part of the song, racing and pinging and chugging, like a Rhys Chatham-style orchestra involving tUnE-yArDs, Mica Levi, Speedy Ortiz, the B-52's, and Pat Jordache." - Pitchfork
"Easily the most exciting band I saw at CMJ." - The Guardian
"Weaves are fucking wild" - StereogumWATCH: "One More" -https://youtu.be/LZPStNxiXR4 Weaves' video for "One More" is premiering today on FADER and VEVO. Shot by guitarist Morgan Waters as the band were embarking on their recent US tour with Sunflower Bean. The video captures Weaves' first experience of the American Southwest, focalized through singer Jasmyn Burke, appearing here as "a disgruntled cheerleader" complete with Wal-Mart-purchased pom poms and a second-hand robe.
"This was our first American tour and we didn't know if we were going to kill each other, being stuck in a van together the whole time," Waters told FADER. "We shot the video ourselves in Rock City, New Mexico in the middle of our drive from Toronto to Los Angeles. We're Canadians so we had to get to know the desert the old fashioned way: with pom poms and a video camera. I filmed Jasmyn from the back of the van as we both yelled at Spencer to drive the right speed while Zach did playback and offered moral support. We smelled burning and assumed it was the smell of America but the mechanic told us the emergency brake was stuck."
In addition to the 30 date European tour announced last month the band are announcing additional European shows and a new set of North American dates. Watch the video for "One More" at the link above and find the full touring route and album details below.
