About the Album:

Weimar's debut album, released in June 2022, "Dancing On A Volcano" features a maelstrom of different styles unified by Weimar’s distinctive approach. Primarily labelled as 'Art Rock', the album’s territory encompasses chanson, cabaret, prog rock, blues, European folk, freestyle jazz and gothic rock among other genres.

The album reflects Weimar’s historical namesake – the German Weimar Republic of the 1920s – in outlook and approach. Taking its name from Weimar chancellor Gustav Stresemann’s infamous quote regarding the appearance of prosperity over the threat of collapse, the album places its historical inspiration against a present-day context, reflecting the chaos and unpredictability of the 2020s amidst social and economic uncertainty.

The songs explore both socio-political and personal challenges of our present age. Themes run through the songs of gentrification and cultural erosion, unsavoury characters masquerading as respectable public figures, and the grit beneath the glamour of society, the contrast between polished facades and the decadence within. Through its mix of musical styles and influences, Dancing On A Volcano gives a delicately brutal and honest picture of human nature and culture in the context of the 2020s.
