The Silver Globe

Jane Weaver

The Silver Globe

The Silver Globe came out in 2014, and it’s one of those albums that really shows Jane Weaver stepping fully into her own, fully embracing her love of cosmic, psychedelic pop. By this point in her career she’d already earned a reputation for adventurous, boundary-pushing work, but this record feels like a bold, cohesive statement – mysterious, glittering, and a little otherworldly.

The sound is lush and expansive, full of swirling synths, drifting guitars, and Weaver’s ethereal vocals that float over everything like stardust. There’s a clear nod to ’70s space rock and cosmic psychedelia, but filtered through a modern, electronic lens that keeps it fresh. It’s dreamy, cinematic, and often hypnotic, with an imaginative sense of space that makes the album feel like a journey rather than just a collection of songs.

Tracks like “Silver Moon” and “The Electric Mountain” are instantly immersive, while “The Black Clouds Gather” and “The Amber Dusk” highlight her ability to mix grandeur with intimacy, creating moments that feel both epic and personal. Each listen uncovers little details in the arrangements that reward attention.

What makes The Silver Globe still worth revisiting is how transportive it is. It’s the kind of record that invites you to get lost in its atmosphere, whether you’re putting it on to dream, work, or just wander mentally through its lush, cosmic landscapes. It’s imaginative, captivating, and full of subtle magic that sticks with you long after it ends.
