On Friday, November 18th, 2022, Sub Pop will release the astonishing new Weyes Blood full-length And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow. The album’s ten tracks were written by Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, with album production from Mering along with Jonathan Rado on all songs except for “A Given Thing,” produced by Mering and Rodaidh McDonald. And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow was mixed by Kenny Gilmore at 101 Studio, and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, and features guest appearances from Meg Duffy, Daniel Lopatin, and Mary Lattimore.
The album is her follow-up to the acclaimed Titanic Rising, the first album of three in a special trilogy. Where Titanic 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 (spoiler alert: the next one will be about “hope”). “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.”
The new album’s first single, “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody,” is about the interconnectivity of all beings, but also the fraying of society around us.
And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow will be available on CD/LP/CS/DSPs, and can be preordered now from Sub Pop or via local indie retailers who will receive the limited Loser Edition on translucent purple vinyl.
And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow is the long-awaited follow-up to Weyes Blood’s 2019 breakthrough album Titanic Rising, which earned placement on over 100 year-end lists, including The AV Club, Pitchfork, NPR Music, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Under the Radar, and Uproxx. The album also saw “Best of the Decade” placement from the likes of All Music, The AV Club, Aquarium Drunkard, Pitchfork, PASTE, and Uproxx. Weyes Blood also made her TV debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers and performed for NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert.”
Weyes Blood toured Aotearoa/New Zealand with Aldous Harding pre-pandemic in March 2020.
