The Innocents

The Innocents is a rare melodic and vocal masterpiece, navigating the depths of heartbreak through to the empowering resolve of the human spirit. Mering's beautifully sculpted melodic prose set against eerily smooth minor progressions yields a high powered and timeless recording that seems to manifest itself in new forms with each listen.

Natalie Mering, the brains behind indie-folk outfit Weyes Blood, has toured as a member of noise-rock outfit Jackie-O Motherfucker and alongside Nautical Almanac, though most listeners will recognize her robustly forlorn voice from Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti's Mature Themes. All those experiencess come to play on her second album, The Innocents.
