On its 15th anniversary 'The Fallen By Watch Bird' is reissued as a special expanded edition with 'The Watchbird Alluminate', featuring reinterpretations by Demdike Stare, The Focus Group, Anworth Kirk, Emma Tricca and others. Originally released on Jane Weaver’s own label Bird Records, it is a tapestry of psychedelic femme-folk-rock drawing influence from Eastern European children's cinema, Germanic kunstmärchen, 70s television music and 80s electronic scores. Steeped in synths and mysticism, this fully realised conceptual record weaves imagery of absent sailors, telekinesis, bird messengers and white witchcraft alongside pagan themes of death and rebirth. A formative masterpiece from her ever-growing discography, 'The Fallen By Watch Bird' continued to build on the themes of its predecessor (Like An Aspen Leaf) and innovative production techniques developed in her earlier releases.

Presented across seven chapters it features performances from Septième Sœur Wendy Flower of the Wendy & Bonnie folk-pop duo who released 1969’s Genesis, Lisa Jen – Welsh vocalist on Gruff Rhys’ Candylion – lost American folk-pop singer Susan Christie and Bosnian folk musician and violinist Behar.
Jane Weaver’s illustrious career has produced an expansive library of music that has seen her journey through solo folkloric and pop leaning beginnings through to the psychedelic synth-pop explorations of today. Celebrating her pioneering vision, Fire Records will be deep diving into her early catalogue with a new reissue series set for release in 2026.
“For sheer musical scope alone, this is an entire acid, folk, world, blues festival in itself. ...she is forging a powerful and lasting cult appeal.” The Quietus
