WEYES BLOOD returns with an ambitious album of astonishing beauty. Already a classic! Written and recorded in the first half of 2018, Titanic Rising is the fruit of her past experience: three albums and many years of touring. Bold choices, vocal and musical mastery, profound lyrics, and a sharp vision of the modern condition of our souls. As if The Kinks had met during World War II (or if Bob Seger had met Enya?), Titanic Rising manages to bridge the gap between classic songwriting and post-apocalyptic futurism. "An album is like a Rubik's Cube," says Natalie Mering, aka Weyes Blood. "Sometimes all the dimensions—lyrics, melody, production—align. I try to be both futuristic and traditional, which is a difficult alchemy. It took a lot of different tries to get there." Even though it might seem like a concept album, it's also an exercise in devoted, albeit sometimes magical, realism. "An orchestral pop splendor from the seventies" Le Monde
