General Interest Titanic Rising The phantom zone, the parallax, the upside downthere is a rich cultural history of exploring in-between places. Through her latest, Titanic Rising, Weyes Blood, a.k.a. Natalie Mering, has designed her own universe to soulfully navigate lifes mysteries. Maneuvering through a space-time continuum, she plays the role of melodic, sometimes melancholic, anthropologist. Tellingly, Mering classifies Titanic Rising which was written and recorded during the first half of 2018, after three albums and years of touring - as the Kinks meet WWII or Bob Seger meets Enya. The latter captures the albums willful expansiveness (You can tell theres not a guy pulling the strings in Enyas studio, she notes, admiringly). The former relays her imperative to connect with listeners. The clarity of Bob Seger is unmistakable. Im a big fan of conversational songwriting, she adds. I just try to do that in a way that uses abstract imagery as well. The Weyes Blood frontwoman grew up singing in gospel and madrigal choirs. (Listen closely to Titanic Rising, and youll also hear the jazz of Hoagy Carmichael mingle with the artful mysticism of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the monomyth of scholar Joseph Campbell.) Something to Believe, a confessional that makes judicious use of the slide guitar, touches on that cosmological upbringing. Belief is something all humans need. Shared myths are part of our psychology and survival, she says. Now we have a weird mishmash of capitalism and movies and science. There have been moments where I felt very existential and lost. As a kid, she filled that void with Titanic. (Yes, the movie.) It was engineered for little girls and had its own mythology, she explains. Mering also noticed that the blockbuster romance actually offered a story about loss born of mans hubris. Its so symbolic that The Titanic would crash into an iceberg, and now that iceberg is melting, sinking civilization. Today, this hubris also extends to the relentless adoption of technology, at the expense of both happiness and attention spans. But Weyes Blood isnt one to stew. Her observations play out in an ethereal saunter: far more meditative than cynical. To Mering, listening and thinking are concurrent experiences. There are complicated influences mixed in with more relatable nostalgic melodies, she says. In my mind my music feels so big, a true production. Im not a huge, popular artist, but I feel like one when Im in the studio. But its never taking away from the music. Im just making a bigger space for myself.
