Weyes Blood is Natalie Mering, the American singer-songwriter (b. 1988) who came up through experimental and noise music before turning to lush chamber pop and art folk. Titanic Rising (2019) is the one everybody starts with — 1970s soft-rock warmth, cinematic arrangements, that deep, clear voice — with And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow (2022) right behind.
