January 29 street date. (Back In Print!?) The debut full-length by NATALIE MERING, a young itinerant who's spent time in Portland jamming in JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER, traveling abroad alongside Axolotl, played basement art-rock with a single drummer in Philly, and now resides in Baltimore, where she crafts sprawling, strange, haunted songs with darkly beautiful mourning vocals a la Nico or private press drug-folk sides, sprinkled with odd clanking sounds and creepy FX. The whole record was mixed and recorded by Natalie herself, then mastered by GRAHAM LAMBKIN of the Shadow Ring. Black vinyl LPs with 11"x17" cardstock lyric sheet/mini-posters.
November 18 street date. Technological agitation. Narcissism fatigue. A galaxy of isolation. These are the new norms keeping Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Mering) up at night and the themes at the heart of her latest release, "And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow". The celestial-influenced folk album is her follow-up to the acclaimed "Titanic Rising" (Pitchfork, NPR, and The Guardian admiringly named it one of 2019's best). While "Titanic Rising" was an observation of doom to come, "And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow" is about being in the thick of it: a search for an escape hatch to liberate us from algorithms and ideological chaos. "And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow" was co-produced by Weyes Blood and Jonathan Rado, with engineering by Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief), and additional instrumentation by Meg Duffy (Hand Habits) and Mary Lattimore.
