Weyes Blood, aka Natalie Mering, is releasing her fourth studio album and first through Sub Pop, Titanic Rising. The record follows 2016’s Front Row Seat to Earth and is set to arrive April 5.
Today’s Song of the Day is the record’s jaunty second single, “Everyday.” Mering says this about the new record in a statement:
There are complicated influences mixed in with more relatable nostalgic melodies. In my mind, my music feels so big, a true production. I’m not a huge, popular artist, but I feel like one when I’m in the studio. But it’s never taking away from the music. I’m just making a bigger space for myself.
The song was released via a self-directed slasher flick-inspired video, in which a party in a cabin turns stereotypically horrific. Watch it below. Weyes Blood will play the Tractor Tavern on Thursday, May 16.
