And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow [Purple Vinyl] (LP)
Weyes Blood
Amoeba Review
Weyes Blood’s latest, And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow, is as luminescent as its title. Artist Natalie Mering wrote the album as part of a trilogy exploring the feelings of darkness and doom that are elements of the zeitgeist; in this second installment, her songwriting captures the sense of stumbling around in deepest night, reaching out for something to hold onto, a sense of connection. That’s what these lovely tracks do—send out a signal that someone else is out there, someone who sees and feels and empathizes as you do. The album’s lasting message is that despite the anxiety and grief on display, there is hope, comfort, and companionship to be found in this world still.
