A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to catch US musician Weyes Blood in concert at Wellington Opera House, and apart from an underwhelming support act and being surrounded by heavily pierced and tattooed twentysomethings that made me feel even more uncool than normal it was a great night.
Dressed in an elegant flowing white dress and cape, she glided around the stage like Kate Bush and possessing a beautiful voice reminiscent of Karen Carpenter, she played lots of lovely music like this :-
Her music is difficult to categorise, a sort of indie-folky-chillout vibe some term as “chamber pop” though I’ve never heard of it before. I would recommend giving her latest album “And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow” a listen, quite likely going to be my album of the year.
