Hey, WTF? Is an affiliation with the Sub Pop label THAT powerful, or is Titanic Rising enough of an achievement that even boomers are reentering “the scene” for the sake of all that 70s-style folk-ing? Chances are it’s a mixture of both when it comes to explaining Natalie Mering a.k.a. Weyes Blood’s recent — and still-rising — popularity. (And hey, what a coincidence: mixture, paradox, and purgatory are some of the themes presented on Weyes Blood’s latest album!)
All this hoopla means that early fans of Weyes Blood (going back to The Innocents) will have to come to terms with the fact that she’s now selling out multiple larger-scale shows. That probably explains why she’s just announced her “Something to Believe Tour,” which is supplementing the late spring/early summer tour that’s currently underway. The former will begin merely a month after the latter ends, and it’ll include dates in both North America and Europe.
So, Mering is basically doing two international tours more or less back-to-back. How can a person without obvious superpowers have that much stamina? Ugh, it’s a mystery. But it’s something to believe.
