Weyes Bluhd

Natalie Mering, an American singer-songwriter who recorded under the name Weyes Bluhd early in her career and later as Weyes Blood.

Review notes that Strange Chalices of Seeing uses drone and dark ambient foundations with psychedelic-folk elements and a lush soprano. The review references Mering's time with Jackie-O Motherfucker and places this album as an early, more unnerving stage prior to later, more baroque/pop work such as The Outside Room and Titanic Rising.

The available review describes Strange Chalices of Seeing as terrifying and obsessively haunting. The album is characterized by drone and dark ambient textures underpinned by psychedelic-folk elements and Natalie Mering's soprano. The reviewer reports a physical, unsettling reaction and compares moments to early Sonic Youth. The record is presented as an unnerving, hypnotic early work in Mering's catalog.

For:Fans of dark ambient, drone, experimental and psychedelic folk; listeners who seek unsettling, atmospheric music.
