Weaves Premiere Charming, Summery "Coo Coo"

It's the latest track from their highly-anticipated self-titled debut out in June.

Toronto quartet Weaves are constantly creating. Their skewed, eccentric sensibility—a burst of melody, a lurch into no wave, a disregard for conventions—is the result of an endless recording cycle, starting on a cell phone mic and ending up on Soundcloud.

Maybe it’s this that accounts for the bold leap they’ve made with “Coo Coo,” premiering today on Noisey. It’s a turn towards left-field pop with bright guitar flourishes and jangling rhythms. It’s a step forward for lead singer Jasmyn Burke too, her voice tipping into falsetto and delighting in its own versatility. There are echoes of Karen O in there, but there’s a range to Burke’s voice that suggests she could take it wherever she pleases.
