#14 | Weyes Blood | And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow
Sub Pop
By creating an odd discrepancy between the sounds of one bygone era and the immediate problems of this one, Mering carves out a wide space for contemplation. An uncanny valley that allows the listener to meditate on the strangeness, and the impracticality, of how we’re living right now. That’s her winning formula, and it’s why Titanic Rising (2019) and now And In The Darkness resonate far beyond simple sonic beauty. And it’s not just political—Mering’s music is deeply personal in its radical views of fractured connection, and its aching desire for community and true intimacy. [Read Erika Wolf’s Review]
