Weyes Blood - The Innocents Vinyl Record

Weyes Blood's album "The Innocents" released in 2014, is a collection of ten songs that showcase Natalie Mering's powerful voice, clear and emotive lyrics and a fusion of American and British folk music with electronic and tape effects. Mering's multi-part harmonies and emotive lyrics make the album emotionally impactful and the traditional instruments used alongside the electronic elements creates a synthesis of the past and future. The album's melancholic ballads possess infinite beauty in their sadness, but it's even more beautiful in relief to all the other material on the album. The songs are unique, and the album as a whole is deeply connected to the past and miles away from anything else you're likely to hear in music today.
