Weyes Blood has confirmed details of new album And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow, due November 18. Natalie Mering's follow-up to 2019's Titanic Rising is accompanied by new song “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody.” Stream that below, where you can also find a raft of upcoming In Holy Flux Tour dates running into 2023.
Mering co-produced And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow with Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado and Rodaidh McDonald. Guests on the album include Meg Duffy (Hand Habits) Mary Lattimore, and, Daniel Lopatin a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never.
In a statement shared alongside the album announcement, Mering explained that: "Titanic Rising was the first album of three in a special trilogy. It was an observation of things to come, the feelings of impending doom. And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow is about entering the next phase, the one in which we all find ourselves today — we are literally in the thick of it. Feeling around in the dark for meaning in a time of instability and irrevocable change. Looking for embers where fire used to be. Seeking freedom from algorithms and a destiny of repetitive loops. Information is abundant and yet so abstract in its use and ability to provoke tangible actions. Our mediums of communication are fraught with caveats. Our pain, an ironic joke born from a gridlocked panopticon of our own making, swirling on into infinity.
Weyes Blood's “In Holy Flux Tour,” a headlining international tour in support of And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow, begins in the U.K. and EU in January. The North American leg kicks off February 22 in Nashville. See below for dates.
