Local promoters This Is Tmrw bring the inestimable Jane Weaver to the Hare & Hounds in partnership with Moseley Folk Festival. Weaver makes intricate, cosmic krautrock pop look easy, but this sort of gorgeous, clever alt-rock doesn’t just drop in your lap, beautifully formed – Weaver has a 20-year pedigree in pop and folktronica, with this year’s ‘Modern Kosmology’ her sixth solo full-length. Her experience shows in the album’s unhurried, dreamy psychedelia and understated grandeur, from the brooding churn of the title track to the synth-heavy future-jazz of ‘The Architect’. Having showcased her new music at the Hare & Hounds in May, Birmingham’s lucky to have a second shot at experiencing it – so if you missed her the first time around, make sure you get down to this November show and get engulfed in the circling, Spirograph waves of her music.

Wed 29 Nov, 7.30pm at Hare and Hounds, High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7JZ £12.10 seetickets.com
