Movies is just on a completely different level. Otherworldly song.

It is. It's her ode to Julia Holter, musically, I would imagine.

"Treat me right / I'm still a good man's daughter / Let me in if I break / And be quiet if I shatter" That might be one of my favorite verses in all of songwriting. Incredibly beautiful

Her interview voice is overwhelmingly ASMR holy shit

[@alexia5763]

what does ASMR mean?

[@ArturoHernandez-uk1iw]

@@alexia5763 in shorts words: anything that sounds or looks pleasing and relaxing Full explanation: ASMR is a sensation of tickling in your neck, back or whole body, triggered by positive sounds or images, like whispers, soft spoken voice, or anything that sounds pleasing for you. Also is a genre of videos and audios where people record themselves making sounds that are pleasing, sometimes it can turn weird, it's a whole world and there is a lot of triggers (whispers, hair brushing, mouth sounds, people straight out eating food) The community is so positive and supportive, cause ASMR helps people to fall sleep, relax, even people with PTSD or anxiety say that ASMR helps them to calm down And Natalie's voice is so soothing and calm, it caused me ASMR

[@jjmalaprop9968]

I'm a little late to the Weyes Blood party, but my goodness, she is something else. Her music is so beautiful. I don't know why it makes me so emotional, but I'm glad it does. Makes me feel alive.

[@valerieregina444]

i jumped on the weyes blood train pretty late since i only discovered her early this year but i'm absolutely obsessed with her she really is something special

[@christopherbazaka1564]

She’s absolutely awesome. Make sure you see her interview with Narduar! it was great to see her there too

[@bradbordalampe6280]

yup never heard of them until yesterday and fell in love with " Movies"....natalie is beautiful all around and her voice could be like that of an Angel, she has a beautiful face totally flawless

[@t6nik]

omg loooving her little backup singer shes soo cute

[@NelsonChan]

Titanic Rising is such a beautiful album 😍

[@weirdskyreallyweird.5519]

why do the drums in this set sound so unusually amazing? Like i mean i was shocked from the first beat of Andromeda. Anyone else?

[@paulcassidy4559]

The KEXP engineers are so on point all the time. This particular session does sound extra good tho. I think it's a combination of the room mic'ing being spot on and the drums themselves projecting really well in the space. Would kill to sit down with their sound people and see how they do things.

[@lukeberrie3942]

This is honestly how drums should always sound imo. I’m in love 😍

[@benmcbride3042]

The snare and hi-hat are so crispy

[@GustavoLopez-xi9ox]

I felt the same

[@bl8976]

I completely agree.

[@joeagger]

the slide guitar in Andromeda and Something to Believe gets me every time! one of the top 5 albums of the year for sure

[@sushivex2412]

Andromeda gives me such a sad energy, and reminds me a lot of the game life is strange 2. Truly outstanding, Weyes blood is amazing and talented.

wow and that attack on the note! so perfect!

[@alexno.335]

YES

[@pan4662]

After she sweeps the Grammys this year and wins every single one, I hope it doesn't change her too much as an artist.

[@warrenlwolfe]

what a world that'd be

[@ArtificialFertilizer]

She will not get any Grammy. Lana is far more popular and mainstream and she also has a very good release this year. Grammies are mostly a popularity competition.

[@pan4662]

@@ArtificialFertilizer I know it's a long shot because like you said there is something inherently fake about the grammys, not to mention who gives a fuck about the grammys anyway, but it's just such a great and timeless album that she deserves major accolades for it.

[@ArtificialFertilizer]

@@pan4662 Well, yeah. Weyes deserves an award, definately. Also, Grammies are an American award, I don't know the popularity of Weyes Blood in the American mainstream culture as I am not American so probably also I can't assess it very well. This year though there were many awesome releases by pop divas: Weyes Blood, FKA Twigs, Lana Del Rey, Caroline Polachek, Angel Olsen, Charli XCX. I also heard that Carly Rae Jepsen had a really good album. The competitors are solid, the most popular probably will win.

[@ArtificialFertilizer]

Okay, not even nominated. Even once.

[@ClaudioLaureano936]

I got chills in Movies. Man, the whole band is in a trance, what an experience!

I love Weyes Blood her soul is beautiful. I also loved her previous incarnation as Karen Carpenter. This Etheric beautiful music touches souls just right.

[@Rubberfooted]

I love all these songs so much but the highlight of this session is by far Movies. So masterfully crafted and orchestrated.

[@moosecow]

Cant believe this performance is from the future

[@crod2312]

When those strings kick in on "Movies"... no words in the dictionary to describe that feeling.

[@mc1382]

I'm pretty sure that performance of Movies is the best live performance of all time.

[@ericsteven91]

Seriously. I thought it was just ok on the album... But wow, after hearing her relationship with movies and then launching into such a beautiful live performance of it... that was an ethereal experience.

[@ally317]

Agreed

[@RandomPlayIist]

I'm pretty sure you haven't listened to a lot of music from all time periods then lol. I say this as a massive fan of Weyes Blood. They've been my favorite band for the last five years. It was a wonderful performance though.

Don't give up. Nobody gets it right on the first try! Listen to Movies and realize that its an human achievement. Be inspired to write more, music is not a competition.

[@MrPanacea999]

Weyes Blood has been writing songs for half her life - she didn't start out writing songs as good as Movies. But she kept at it and got better and better. Keep trying.

[@mattspeedyou]

she's the coolest human on earth

[@sarah53062]

Titanic Rising is the perfect tittle for this album. Titanic, a ship that was considered the best, the most beautiful, the most elegant, perfect, full of joy and life. And then, something happened, and tore it apart. Dispair took over. Part by part it sank to the depths of oblivion. In there it rotted. But it's still there, ignored, but there. All those feelings and thoughts that makes us feel in a certain way, and because of that we avoid them. What this album does is to bring those feeling to the surface. To rise Titanic.

[@arcticchimp14]

dude u made me cry tf

[@fdsa6745]

There is a bonus final track on the Japan region release of the album called Titanic Risen. Because when the album finishes, that's exactly what happens

[@nikozalive]

i'm so in love with her voice

[@alwindsor7299]

The album is superb. Something to believe reminds me of an artistic stroke of genius mixed with ABBA. The influences throughout the album are clear, but aren't overwhelming. Very good live performance here.

[@thaishudson476]

[@thaiscb2882]

i found weyes blood's titanic rising like 5 days ago because of andromeda and i couldnt stop listening to it. it's been on loop for me since i found it. strangely, it hadnt hit my emotions so strongly until i saw this performance. this is otherworldly, there's no other explanation to this ethereal celestial music. i feel like im actually floating in a secluded lake loooking at the stars. honestly the part when she sings movies and something to believe just made me sob for 15minutes straight (and i didnt even like movies so much when i listened to the studio version - but now i do). i dont know why im putting this out here but i hope that natalie knows how much she is helping people be in touch with their own feelings and their own existence in this mess of a world, and that her music is truly one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard

[@ericsteven91]

I had a similar experience with movies. I found it to be just okay on the album, but that live performance floored me.
