Titanic Rising

Natalie Mering’s fourth record under her Weyes Blood pseudonym is a long way from the ‘one woman and a guitar and oh yeah maybe a piano too’ school of folky singersongwriting. Her ethereal voice and lyrics, which touch on all the travails of early-21st-century life, soar over lush orchestral arrangements that evoke classic American albums of the 1970s while still sounding modern.
