Weaving - Webs (2025) [Hi-Res]

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Derek Weaving’s debut album as Weaving, Webs, is a vulnerable and generous work that buzzes like nature surrounding you on a summer night. The prolific bassist—known for his work with Tiny Hazard, as well as with Stephen Becker, Lip Talk, and a wide collection of other inventive NYC acts—steps out here with his first collection of original songs as a guitarist and singer. His disarming and inviting baritone vocals and atmospheric guitar washes are complemented by lush vocals and funhouse textural flourishes from an extended crew of ringers and longtime collaborators, including former Tiny Hazard bandmates Alena Spanger, Ryan Weiner (Not Person) and Ronald Stockwell, as well as Lip Talk, and Little Mystery. Webs’ lyrics pay gentle tribute to family and friends, and celebrate the flourishing of the natural world while also mourning its degradation. These songs are both psychedelic and grounded, abstract and filled with personal details, and always look inwards and outwards at the same time. They invite listeners to turn and really see one another, as well as the natural landscapes surrounding them. Webs is a stunning, multi-faceted first statement, bridging the cosmic and the intimate in an effort to trace the webs of meaning and sensation that link us all.
