- Weyes Blood
Guys, the polar vortex is back. The last time it was here, pretty much every event across town got canceled. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again, because the first half of this week has a handful of excellent shows to catch.
Weyes Blood has canceled. Ryley Walker, Circuit des Yeux, Mark Trecka, and Field Auxiliary are all still playing. “In recent years experimental music has produced quite a few hauntingly psychedelic chanteuses who deliver mesmerizing, spooky sounds and charged postfolk vocals that range from rustic crooning to borderline avant-garde caterwauling,” says Peter Margasak. “And no one in this imaginary genre can match the creepy beauty of Weyes Blood, aka Natalie Mering, a Philadelphia native who cut her teeth in tripped-out ensembles such as Jackie-O Motherfucker and Axolotl. I recently discovered her 2011 album, The Outside Room (Not Not Fun), and it’s a stunner, with murky guitar, organ drones, and hand percussion caressing her enchanting, harrowing voice.”
