Aug 02, 2017 Weaves By Christopher Roberts

Weaves have announced a new album, Wide Open, and some tour dates. They have also shared its first single, “#53.” Wide Open is due out October 6 via Kanine in the U.S. (and Buzz Records in Canada and Memphis Industries in the rest of the world). Wide Open is the follow-up to the band’s 2016-released self-titled debut. Check out “#53” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s tour dates.

Singer Jasmyn Burke had this to say about the album in a press release: “We got back from the tour with Mitski on November 22nd and I started writing November 23rd. We spent three months writing and pretty much figured out the album in its entirety in that timeframe. With the year we had I think we really hit this sweet spot where your brain is fully ready for something new, but has absorbed all of this information and it all just spews out. It was all really based on initial instinct and we just sort of let music happen. When writing ‘#53’ I let out how I was feeling about a lot of things. Existing on the road, existing at home, living in a time when a lot of younger people feel helpless—it’s all given me a new vigor and desire to be ferocious with our music.”
