Jane Weaver curates Fire Records comp Heaven On Fire

Jane Weaver focuses on female artists for the limited-run Heaven On Fire compilation out September 4.



Here's the scoop...

Love Record Stores takes place on September 4th and Fire Records is releasing a special vinyl LP for the occasion entitled ‘Heaven On Fire’ compiled by Jane Weaver.

In the age of the playlist, in times where the recommender is royalty, Jane Weaver threads together the spookily hauntological strains of recent Fire releases; sub-navigating styles and genres to create a soundtrack of neo-folk futurism that nods to psychedelia, dream-pop and electronica.

‘Heaven On Fire’ is a chilled-out coming of age, made by a new set of visionaries, lovingly assembled by Jane Weaver; a state-of-the-label address that gathers Vanishing Twin's 'Big Moonlight (Ookii Gekkou)' from their third opus ‘Ookii Gekkou’; the gorgeous ‘Ophelia’ from Marina Allen’s debut ‘Candlepower’; Mega Bog’s ‘Station To Station’ from her recently released ‘Life, and Another’; ‘St Francis Fountain’ from Virginia Wing’s new album; Gwenno’s remix of Islet’s ‘Geese’; Lucy Gooch’s ‘Rain’s Break’ from her first Fire release; ‘Reve Riviere’ from Faten Kanaan’s exotic ‘A Mythology of Circles’; Brigid Mae Power’s ‘We Weren’t Sure’ from her celebrated Fire debut of last year ‘Head Above The Water’; and US based Korean musician Okkyung Lee’s ambient gem ‘Here We Are (Once Again)’.

This exclusive compilation, limited to just 500 copies, will be pressed on deep red vinyl and features specially commissioned artwork by Emily Evans. Check out "Big Moonlight (Ookii Gekkou)" by Vanishing Twin, an impromptu side-of-the-road performance of "We Weren't Sure" by Brigid Mae Power and crew followed by Mega Bog's "Station To Station" after the track listing below.
