“Live at Black Tornado” feels like an open-door session where The New Weavers welcome listeners straight into the room as the music takes shape. The mini-album carries a warm, lived-in presence created by nine musicians playing together in Copenhagen, and the atmosphere is instantly inviting. The group leans into spontaneity and genuine interaction, which gives the recording a glow that suits their retro-rock spirit. The band’s growing reputation makes complete sense after hearing how naturally they connect with each other on these tracks.
From the first moments, the record sets a lively pace, powered by confident grooves and melodies that stay with you long after the final track. “POP” jumps forward with a steady pulse that keeps the energy bright, supported by a rhythm section that feels locked in and full of personality. “Mexico” follows with congas, backing vocals, and a loose swagger that fits the song perfectly. Then there is “Suzie”, a sweet, upbeat boogie with an easy charm that lifts the whole set. Each track feels shaped by people who trust each other, and that trust becomes one of the project’s strongest qualities.
I personally enjoy how the live setup creates small moments of surprise that feel completely natural.
I also appreciate the sense of closeness in the performances, which makes the mini-album feel like a shared experience.
With musicians like Per Mølgaard Jørgensen behind the drums and Christophe Mugnier-Pollet adding expressive sax lines, the expanded lineup brings extra color without crowding the core sound. Producer Søren Christensen keeps everything organic and melodic, allowing the golden-age rock influence to shine without overwhelming the band’s own personality. Peter Kræg and Morten Thuesen trade vocal duties in a way that adds variety while maintaining a unified tone across the record.
As a follow-up to their well-received debut, “Live at Black Tornado” arrives with confidence and heart. The New Weavers continue to build on their reputation for creating vibrant, analog-driven rock that feels grounded in connection and joy. The six tracks fit together with ease, making the mini-album both easy to return to and full of moments worth savoring.
