Weaves have recently announced their new album, Wide Open which is due out on Buzz Records, Kanine & Memphis Industries on October 6, 2017. The band has shared their new single, “Walkaway” along with its accompanying video. When asked about the song, singer Jasmyn Burke states,

“This is a reflective song in tone and at the time I wrote it I was stuck in a moment of having to make a decision to stay or leave an unhealthy situation,” says Burke. “It’s okay to admit that we’re vulnerable and having a hard time and sometimes you have to just walk away.”

The video was directed by the band’s guitarist, Morgan Waters and was shot at the same time as the album’s cover. Find out more about that from Burke,

“We shot the video and the album cover at the same time, and it makes sense to me to tie those images to this song, as, like a lot of this record it’s about personal agency and finding your way in difficult times.” she says. “There’s this fire and destruction surrounding us on the cover, which was initially inspired by the scene in the movie Heathers where Winona Ryder’s character stops her ex-boyfriend from setting off a bomb in the boiler room of the high school. She is covered in soot and blood, and she’s smoking a cigarette, as she re-enters the school with a new found clarity — she doesn’t want to try and fit in or be perfect anymore. I like that sentiment.”

Weaves will also be taking off on tour next month and that they will be supported by Tancred on their North American tour, see the dates below:
