WEYES BLOOD - AND IN THE DARKNESS, HEARTS AGLOW VINYL (LTD. 'LOSER' ED. CLEAR)

LIMITED 'LOSER' EDITION CLEAR VINYL

Release Date: 18th November 2022

"Celestial-influenced folk album ‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’ is Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Mering)’s follow-up to the acclaimed ‘Titanic Rising’ (which Pitchfork, NPR, and The Guardian admiringly named as 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. “We’re in a fully functional shit show,” Mering says. “My heart is a glow stick that’s been cracked, lighting up my chest in an explosion of earnestness.” ‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’ opens with the wistful, winsome ‘It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody’, a song about the interconnectivity of all beings, despite the fraying of society around us. “I was asking a lot of questions while writing these songs. Hyper-isolation kept coming up,” Mering says. “Our culture relies less and less on people. Something is off, and even though the feeling appears differently for each individual, it is universal.”"
