Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising

What may amount to one of the defining chamber-pop records of this decade (I'm hard-pressed to think of a better one, although Have You In My Wilderness can certainly make a case for itself) Titanic Rising is no doubt the pinnacle of Natalie Mering's long, strange voyage as Weyes Blood. Like all great chamber-pop, Mering's third album is lush and quiet at times, building its simplicity to only reveal itself more and more upon repeat listens - whilst allowing for just a few soaring arrangements and vocals to help carry the load. As a culmination of her previous work, it is both cathartic and resounding in its pop-allure, a testament to the niche she has carved for herself.
