American singer-songwriter and musician Natalie Laura Mering, professionally known as Weyes Blood, has returned with the announcement of her new album And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow which is set to release on November 18 via Sub Pop. The news is accompanied by the arrival of the lead single “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody” as well as the announcement of 2023 North American tour dates.
Speaking on her new song, Mering offered, “‘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.”
The Spring 2023 tour will kick off with a show in Nashville, Tennessee at the Brooklyn Bowl on February 22. They will go onto play in Georgia, North Carolina, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts before briefly visiting Canada with two back-to-back concerts in Montreal and Toronto on March 7 and 8. Returning to the U.S., they will perform in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Their closing show is scheduled for April 2 in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Cain’s Ballroom.
