Weyes Blood had to release seven albums before breaking out. And we couldn’t be happier with the one that gave her career that extra oomph. “Titanic Rising,” released on April 5 through Sub Pop records, is an ethereal chamber pop album. No contemporary record can match what Weyes Blood has created. Liquid melodies and dreamy atmosphere with an array of influences. Songs like The Beatles-influenced “Everyday” show her knack for writing groovy hooks, while “Andromeda” is a psychedelic epic revealing the musician’s existential dread with alternative country tinges. One of our hosts loved Titanic Rising thinks it might be the best album you’ll listen to in 2019.
