Weyes Blood has announced her first album since 2019’s “Titanic Rising”. Natalie Mering’s latest is called “And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow” and it arrives November 18th via Sub Pop Records.
Mering has shared lead single “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody,” which she refers to as “a Buddhist anthem, ensconced in the interconnectivity of all beings.”
“And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow” was written by Mering, who co-produced most of the album alongside Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado. (Mering co-produced one song, “A Given Thing,” with Rodaidh McDonald.) The new record also features guest appearances from Meg Duffy, Daniel Lopatin, and Mary Lattimore. The 10-track LP was mixed by Kenny Gilmore at 101 Studio and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at the Lodge. “And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow” is the second album in a trilogy that began with “Titanic Rising”. The third installment, as teased in press materials, will be about “hope.”
Weyes Blood has also announced the “In Holy Flux Tour,” a headlining international touring run for the Spring of 2023 in support of “And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow”. The UK and EU dates begin on Saturday, January 28th in Berlin at Festsaal Kreuzberg and ending Tuesday, February 14th in Brighton, UK at CHALK.
Since releasing “Titanic Rising”, Mering has collaborated with the Killers, recorded with Tim Heidecker, appeared on Lana Del Rey’s “Chemtrails Over the Country Club“, and more.
