"The music of New York trio
Weak Signal
(
Mike Bones
, guitar and voice;
Sasha Vine
, electric bass, violin, and voice;
Tran
, drums and voice) is a masterclass in simplicity and economy but these aspects aren't present for their own didactic sake. Rather, their art is world-building in the most essential of ways, subtly spinning out in an enveloping, rich haze from a clear, architectural core. There are sections of knife-like collective squall and dialogic drift that glance at improvised music; while not strictly pop, the tunes are incredibly catchy with wry, keenly memorable lyrics that easily stick in one's craw. With associations including
Endless Boogie
,
Sian Alice Group
, and
Soldiers of Fortune
, Weak Signal formed in 2017. They waxed two full lengths in the period leading up to the pandemic, and during that unsettling year -- plus without many gigs to speak of, the trio kept busy and unleashed a handful of choice digital EPs and a couple of split 7" singles.
Fine
is their fourth full-length to date, its tight ten-song program fleshed out with sonic icing from keyboardist
Alexis Taylor
(
Hot Chip
) and guitarists
Doug Shaw
(
Gang Gang Dance
;
White Magic
) and
Cass McCombs
.
Fine
is an unhurried jewel in the trio's discography, partly the result of the time it took to write. Even if the vibe and structure is familiar -- and one can easily pick out their stripped-down jangle, like the lovechild of the
Rain Parade
and
Lungfish
-- there's a clear evolution over the course of their records, each one more finely-tuned and comfortable.
Fine
was recorded by
Jon Erickson
and mixed by
Rupert Clervaux
, whose expertise has been called in for records by
Spiritualized
and pianist
Matthew Shipp
, among others, keeping just enough of the SoundCloud lo-fi aesthetic to ensure it's a proper Weak Signal record."
