Just by glancing at the name, it’s clear that ghost-folk Weyes Blood (formerly known as Weyes Bluhd) isn’t afraid to get experimental – and yes, “weyes” is indeed pronounced “wise.” Natalie Mering, formerly of Jackie-O Motherfucker, brings this sense of creativity and adventure to every aspect of her Weyes Blood project, which she started back in 2006. Mering’s work is textural and multi-faceted. She layers tape samples with piano and guitar to create spectral soundscapes. Complimented by her ethereal voice, these collages are hauntingly penetrating. The live experience is even more haunting and rewarding – waiting for a soon to be announced new album, don’t miss her tomorrow June 13 at The Deli’s B.E.A.F./Northside Rootsy Stage at Spike Hill. – Corinne Bagish
