Weave - Glimmers (2017)

Symbolic Interaction issues another low-key release in its CLR series, where packaging consists of just a CD and a postcard (talk about restraint). This time it’s Sunderland’s Weave, aka Barry Leake. Besides the computer, Weave’s bedroom electronica is heavy on acoustic sources: various guitars, kalimba and bells. Unpretentious and heartfelt, it’s reminiscent of early 2000s labels such as Benbecula. The postcard provides an example of a beautiful analogue photographic technique developed by Leake. See his Etsy for more such work.
