The acclaimed Liverpool-born experimental electronic artist joins forces again with Peter Philipson and Raz Ullah with an enthralling range of shimmering sounds and mainly wordless, spectral vocalisations using a large range of vintage equipment, the album loosely based on the story psychic nurse Stella Cranshaw, the so-called ‘electric girl’, in 1920s London, the subject of of a paranormal study who apparently emitted sparks and strange sounds and displayed other extraordinary abilities. Partly recorded at Soundgas studios in Derbyshire, the entire album is a gorgeously strange and wonderful experience from start to finish, but highlights include Pulsion (Girl On Train), A Young Girl of Medium Height, Instituts Métapsychique, the title track, Stella In Spectra, Telekinetoscopes, Stellar in Spectra, and the final track, Are You ... (The Final Chord), which breaks out from the sparks, pulses and electric mist to find Weaver finally singing words, andperhaps personifying Stella’s voice, bathed in lovely acoustic strings. A magical release. Out on Fire Records.
