Weyes Blood – Titanic Rising

"Titanic Rising" is the fourth album release of US songwriter Natalie Mering aka Weyes Blood, but her first album for Sub Pop Records

The album contains the lead single "Everyday" and the previously released "galactic love ballad" (The Fader) "Andromeda" as well as the highlights "Movies", "Wild Time" and "Something To Believe"

For the album cover of "Titanic Rising" the Californian went diving - by the way without CGI

Responsible for the shooting was the underwater photographer Brett Stanley, who sunk a complete bedroom for the cover of "Titanic Rising"

The album was written and recorded in the first six months of last year - and is the result of years of touring and continuous musical development by Mering, which can be clearly heard on "Titanic Rising": transcendent vocals and floating arrangements, profound lyrics and reflections on the modern state of our souls

"Titanic Rising" effortlessly overcomes the border between classical songwriting and post-apocalyptic futurism.
