The LA artist’s upcoming album ‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’ is out this Friday (November 18)

Weyes Blood has released a new single, ‘God Turn Me Into A Flower’.
The song is the final single to be taken from her forthcoming album ‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’. which is out this Friday (November 18). It reworks the Greek myth of Narcissus, a hunter who becomes obsessed with his own reflection, attempting to draw modern meanings out of it that ring true in the digital age.
“I’d been trying to figure out what exactly was the crux of why everything felt so selfish and strange,” the artist told NME. “Colloquially, it’s become this idea that he was obsessed with himself, that he saw himself and was just obsessed with it. But the real crux of it is that he didn’t recognise himself. He was obsessed with the reflection, but he didn’t realise it was just him.”
“All of our mistakes in the human race come down to this: we are continuously using these technological frontiers to strive closer to something, not realising that it’s our own death. By destroying the planet, we destroy ourselves,” she continued.
“At the end of the myth, Narcissus gets turned into a flower, which is symbolic for something that’s just kind of pliable and goes with the flow of the universe. And ultimately, it’s soft. That’s the approach you have to take with all the uncertainty and irrevocable change that’s happening right now. If everything’s gonna fall apart, don’t be weak. Become soft.”
Listen to the track below:
In NME’s five-star review of ‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’, El Hunt said: “‘And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow’ finds itself in the eye of a whirling tornado; the isolation that its predecessor predicted now fully upon us. Just as sunsets become infinitely more beautiful when they’re pumped full of sun-refracting pollutants, Mering’s own vision of the end of the world is intricately woven and rich with melody, even as loneliness aches at the core.”

“Any story I try to tell myself about the place I found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another”
The post Fucked Up confront gentrification on new single ‘Found’ appeared first on NME.
Fucked Up have shared the second single, ‘Found’, from their upcoming album ‘One Day’.
The opening track from the Canadians hardcore band’s sixth album was inspired by guitarist Mike Haliechuk’s experiences living on one of the oldest streets in North America and the troubling consequences of gentrification.
“I used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America, and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age,” said Haliechuk.
“Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century, to build the streets I walk on. I thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until I realised I am one of those big buildings.”
Listen to the track below.
Haliechuk explained that name of the song comes from the Shadi Bartsch translation of the Aeneid, where she points out that the words ‘found’ and ‘stab’ open and close the book.
“That discovery is actually conquest, and that settlement is always violence. And that any story I try to tell myself about the place I found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another.”
Fucked Up’s new album ‘One Day’ is out January 27, 2023 via Merge. As its title suggests, the majority of the album was written and recorded within the confines of a single day.
Elsewhere, the band’s frontman Damian Abraham will be guesting on The HIRS Collective’s upcoming album ‘We’re Still Here’, on which he lends his vocals to the penultimate track, ‘Unicorn Tapestry Woven In Fire’ alongside Marissa Paternoster and Pinkwash. The album is out March 24, 2023.
