Review
Step into the ethereal world of Weyes Blood's "Titanic Rising", where the sounds of 1970s FM radio mingle with the whispers of the subconscious. This dreamy album, born from the collaborative spirits of Weyes Blood (Natalie Mering) and Jonathan Rado, floats effortlessly between dream pop, indie rock, and soft rock, conjuring an atmosphere both intimate and expansive.
As we delve into the lyrical realm, we find ourselves entwined in a world of romantic pursuits, environmental concerns, and symbolic nods to the Titanic. The cover art, a hauntingly beautiful portrayal of Mering surrounded by an underwater bedroom, speaks to the idea of the subconscious as a sanctuary where our deepest thoughts and desires take shape.
With its powerful ambiance and vulnerable lyrics, "Titanic Rising" has entranced critics and audiences alike, earning Weyes Blood her first appearance on the UK Albums Chart and securing a spot on the U.S. Top Album Sales chart. The album's singles, including "Andromeda", "Everyday", and "Movies", have captivated listeners with their subtle beauty and cinematic essence. Tracks like "A Lot's Gonna Change", "Mirror Forever", and "Wild Time" showcase Weyes Blood's extraordinary ability to craft songs that are at once deeply personal and universally relatable, weaving a sonic tapestry that envelops and transports us. - Lark
