Weyes Blood

As end-of-year-list compilation season moves into full swing, most of us have probably been revisiting Weyes Blood’s staggering April release Titanic Rising. The baroque, psychedelic, and very much Jonathan Rado–produced LP—and Natalie Mering’s first released via Sub Pop—caught our ears over six months ago, but now you can hear a handful of the album’s singles anew courtesy of Rough Trade.

Streaming on DSPs worldwide today, Weyes Blood’s Rough Trade Session was recorded by Ariel Rechtshaid, and features a straightforward version of “Wild Times,” as well as slight reworkings of “Everyday,” “Something to Believe,” and “A Lot Has Changed” (retitled “A Lot’s Gonna Change”). The release comes on the verge of yet another set of tour dates, these ones spanning Europe and Australia through 2020.

You can stream the four-track EP below, and read on four Weyes Blood’s full Something to Believe Tour dates.
