Weyes Blood has announced her first album since 2019’s Titanic Rising. Natalie Mering’s latest is called And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow and it arrives November 18 via Sub Pop. Today, Mering has shared lead single “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody,” which she refers to as “a Buddhist anthem, ensconced in the interconnectivity of all beings.” Find the song and Weyes Blood’s tour schedule below.
And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow was written by Mering, who co-produced most of the album alongside Foxygen’s Jonathan Rado. (Mering co-produced one song, “A Given Thing,” with Rodaidh McDonald.) The new record also features guest appearances from Meg Duffy, Daniel Lopatin, and Mary Lattimore. The 10-track LP was mixed by Kenny Gilmore at 101 Studio and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at the Lodge. And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow is the second album in a trilogy that began with Titanic Rising. The third installment, as teased in press materials, will be about “hope.”
Since releasing Titanic Rising, Mering has collaborated with the Killers, recorded with Tim Heidecker, appeared on Lana Del Rey’s Chemtrails Over the Country Club, and more.
