[ROCK] Warm your frozen souls at Mohawk Place next Sunday, January 18 where Weyes Blood will be stopping by and delivering a performance as part of her winter tour across the nation. For those who don’t know, Weyes Blood is the indie-folk project of Natalie Mering, whose vocals you may recognize from Ariel Pink’s “Mature Themes.” Her own project takes a different direction, calling to mind the thrust of fleeting and vivid impressions she’s collected while wandering throughout the nation, beatnik style. The product of her experiences translates into other-worldly music that deftly straddles the thin line between passive reflection and oblique intensity, where swelling instrumentals put her haunting and elegiac voice on full display. Last October she released her second full length album, The Innocents, which was described to occupy a “gothic, magical realm” by Consequences of Sound and furthermore, as an “earthy melodrama for catacombs that deserves to be heard above ground.” Live, she’s the kind of performer who can silence a packed room through sheer magnetism. If you’re seeking an ideal closure for your week, you will not want to miss this.
