Weyes Blood

kinda dry production on that live session video, feels a bit lifeless

would love to see her live though

Ariel Pink/Weyes Blood collaborative EP out at the end of this month.

was inititally turned off by the ariel pink associations & first listen didn't grab me but this has really gotten its hooks in me....quite a beautiful album

not stylistically (not much jazz or r&b in this), but there's some spirit here some sadness that reminds me of laura nyro

a conversation w/ WB & john cale just appeared in my twitter feed:

i really hate to be that guy but i've listened to tears on fire a couple of times and it just makes me want AP to get back to his 'roots'.

I can't find much to dislike

Is the full EP out there? I've listened to Tears on Fire nonstop for the last couple of days. It's very addictive.

It's out and it's good. In fact I prefer some of it to her last album, which was mostly quite down-trodden but beautiful nonetheless. Especially like the callback to Shangri-Las girl group narration on the second track.

Saw them live in SF for Noise Pop. Good god is Natalie Mering's voice is incredible. Well worth checking out if they're nearby.

Yeah she strikes me as the real thing

I love their new record. Are the older ones good too?

Are "they" a band now? When I saw Weyes Blood it was just Mering backed by tapes.

they're a really good band, soft machine covers and all (and yeah when I saw 'them' first it was just her)

It was Nilsson covers when I saw her.

maybe it was just a special treat for her british audience

For lack of a better term she's a part of the A Pink "family" in LA. Shares 5hags with Pink's touring band. Video directed by Pink's girlfriend. Etc

Sorry for staring the obvious. Just trying and failing to make the point that she's the band. Like No Joy is Jasmine's, Lansing Dreiden is Jorge's and so on.

The further back you go, the noisier her music gets, and the melodies turn medieval. The Outside Room is excellent in a very different way - more like Marissa Nadler collaborating with Demdike Stare.

Oh wow... OK that sounds interesting.

I meant to type "her" above. There is no band

excellent new single

i segued into it right in the middle of the new susanne sundfor album and tt didn't even notice, they've converged somewhat lol

what's the new one called? It's passed me by completely

'a certain kind'

good 'everybody's talkin'' cover on the b-side too. releasing singles with b-sides in 2017 is a cool move and i endorse it

Oh cool, she's been playing "Everybody's Talkin" at live shows for a few years now

still absolutely can't fucking believe brainwashed.com readers voted FRSTE the second-WORST album of last year. proper fucking neckbeard shit

maybe weyes blood triggers sensitive swansbro morons particularly effectively

gira sucks

was she particularly vocal in larkin's corner

or are these people simply threatened by a woman daring to write psych-pop

The single is so great, I was just thinking/hoping she'd release studio versions of those covers a few days ago!

Oh shit I didn't realise the A-side was that awesome Soft Machine cover she'd been doing!

Yeah! I so hope to see her play it in concert one day 🙏 It wasn't on the setlist (yet) for her great great great Raleigh show last... November? A couple of days before the election, ugh.

Her last EP is up there but that last LP sums up heartbreak so well and the fall out of a relationship. A +

Ariel pink collab is some of her finest stuff

Wouldn't go that far, but it's very good. Her last two solo albums have been amongst the best music of the decade

Absolutely love the last full length but there's a playfulness on the EP that's a nice change

Yes - and in the covers single from last year as well. It will be extremely interesting to see what her next move is.

damn thanks for the reminder regarding the covers imago, will check again

The second verse of Used To Be should be sent into space as a document of humanity

^ yeah!

couldn't find any posts or threads but i think this band has something to do with weyes blood? lush psych, excellent stuff

Very good record, that one. What's the Weyes Blood connection?

ya this is nice

i think they did a split w/ weyes blood and possibly shared a member or two at some point

man if lana del rey had put out 'front row seat to earth' yall wdve gone *apeshit*

Not enough swear words.

not enough going for the most obvious melody in any given situation

that's harsh, ldr isn't bad. but god what did weyes blood have to do to get everyone's attention. she even wrote do you need my love' and got shrugs

Maybe it would help if she re-wrote a famous Radiohead song.

But seriously, the reason why LDR gets so much more attention is because she's had a lot of mainstream success and Weyes Blood hasn't.

also maybe sooooooomething to do with image? they are both extremely pretty but LDR makes much more of a show of it/her visage

I listened to Hearts Aglow most recently on a long nocturnal walk by Lake Ontario on the Friday before Christmas - probably my most uplifting memory of last year. I felt like it opened the emotional door to a post-pandemic way of life that I had been wary of.
Now I see that night as the completion of a personal arc that was started by listening to Lana Del Rey's NFR! on a long country drive on Thanksgiving weekend 2019, and the disaster that I felt it clearly foreboded but whose form wouldn't be known for a few months. I do often feel like disaster's on the way, but rarely crystallized neatly in album form.
