SXSW Review: Jane Weaver, March 17, Central Presbyterian Church

Jane Weaver

During Jane Weaver’s Friday night set at Austin’s Central Presbyterian Church, observant concertgoers might have noticed an individual just laying down on their back in the middle of the aisle – an odd sight for sure, though one that could be explained away as either a photographer trying to get the perfect shot or someone who was just so taken aback by the power of Weaver’s music that they had to have a bit of a lay down. Probably the former, but I’d like to think that it’s at least partially a little of column A and a little of column B.

While Weaver is known for making spacey, experimental psychedelia, the songs off her latest full length, 2020’s Flock, lean a bit more towards poppier sounds – still plenty trippy, mind you, but the kind of trippiness you can dance to as well. Most of the songs performed by Weaver and her band on this occasion came from that album, with a couple selections from 2017’s Modern Kosmology thrown into the mix as well. It was a compelling performance, and one that made me wish it could go on for at least a couple more songs. But such is the nature of SXSW set times.

So yeah, maybe it’s not too likely that that photographer was literally swept off their feet by Jane Weaver’s music, but her show was one that was easy to get swept up in.
