And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow

Product Information

I was asking a lot of questions while writing these songs, and hyper isolation kept coming up for me. “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody” is a Buddhist anthem, ensconced in the interconnectivity of all beings, and the fraying of our social fabric. Our culture relies less and less on people. This breeds a new, unprecedented level of isolation. The promise we can buy our way out of that emptiness offers little comfort in the face of fear we all now live with – the fear of becoming obsolete. Something is off, and even though the feeling appears differently for each individual, it is universal. Meanwhile, the obvious vocal comparison is to Karen Carpenter, with whom Mering shares a controlled, velvety melancholy. And, like Carpenter’s music, there’s something curiously unknowable at this album’s centre. Just as it’s never entirely clear if Carpenter was intentionally freighting what was meant to be easy listening with an almost unbearable sadness – whether she was really pouring her own distress into her readings of songs or whether the listener is simply retrospectively projecting their knowledge on to the sound of her voice – it isn’t entirely clear whether everything Mering sings is meant in deadly earnest. When she blithely dismantles the initial optimism of The Worst Is Over – “I think it’s only just begun” – you find yourself wondering if you’re in the presence of a doomsayer or an exceptionally deadpan humorist. It makes And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow seem more of a puzzle than it first appears – one that’s an unalloyed joy to solve.

We all have a “Grapevine” entwined around our past with unresolved wounds and pain. Being in love doesn’t necessarily mean being together. Why else do so many love songs yearn for a connection? I'm going to be honest, as much as I've tried to listen to this record as a standalone body of work, I simply cannot forget the unimaginably high bar that Weyes Blood has set for herself with Titanic Rising.
