Last Friday, Natalie Mering made a convincing argument for pushing music publications’ year-end coverage back to the actual end of the year: And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow, her latest record as Weyes Blood, is a shoo-in on most of these best-of lists, with Mering expanding upon the ’70s-sourced chamber-pop and societal and environmental concern of 2019’s Titanic Rising—an acceptance of the widely acknowledged “new normal,” as she told us in our latest digital cover feature.
With that record still on heavy rotation, we asked Mering to step into the DJ booth for the latest installment of FLOOD FM’s “Hacked” series, where she shared a handful of her favorite tunes and stories from her musical journey. Kicking off today, November 21, and running through Friday, November 25, catch the episode every day at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 5.p.m., and 10 p.m. PT on FLOOD FM here. If you haven’t already, check out our extensive interview with Mering here.
