While *Weaves *is an impressive album about incapacitating infatuation, it's not always served by giving its ADD and OCD impulses equal say—after all, no one will ever write a song called "Clever in Love."
Picture the classic rock band. It's likely you're thinking of a four-piece: bass, guitar, drums, vocals. Though they might at first glance look pretty standard, Weaves are not doing that kind of math. On their debut, the Toronto quartet shed the restraints of indie rock structure and form, letting something more emotional drive their sparse and artistic sound.
