Praise for Front Row Seat To Earth:

"The fourth full-length from singer/songwriter/producer Natalie Mering overflows with the misty sounds of late ’60s folk and ’70s AM radio, but her presence in these songs is modern and slyly knowing." – Pitchfork (Best New Music)

"‘Front Row Seat To Earth’ strongly standing as one of the year’s most affecting and luscious releases." – Clash

"On Front Row Seat To Earth and its predecessor, 2014’s The Innocents, vocal poise is one of Mering’s greatest expressive tools" – NPR

"…’60s-leaning throwback bursting with cinematic harmonies, a lysergic, dream-like melody, and vocals that sound like they were dug up from ’70s-era Laurel Canyon and Downey, when the likes of Joni Mitchell and the Carpenters roamed…" – Elle

"intimate and enveloping, romantic and psychedelic" – Uncut

"a slice of 70’s-tinged A.M. radio folk" – Tiny Mix Tapes

The first thing you notice about Weyes Blood’s new album, Front Row Seat to Earth, is its closeness. The music is immediate and warm with intimate feeling. The lyrics serve not to obscure and mystify, but to perform, reveal, and take the listener inside. This is the folk music of the near future.

Natalie Mering, the being behind Weyes Blood, sings sublimely on Front Row. These are her words and she means them. Between the subtle pulses of her breath, we feel the textures of her voice. On new single "Used To Be" she explains "’Used to Be’ is about the shock after the end of a relationship that was all encompassing – your best friend, the center of the world. The person that used to be the one that knew you, because in this modern day and age there’s very few people if any at all that are a full witness to our lives. To be known becomes more important in hindsight."

There is a faded California beauty to Front Row. A gentle honesty that recalls the finest folk music made on the West Coast of the ‘70s. The hue hangs in the sweet-spooky harmonies, the pulsing sway of the vibrato, and the ecstatic chord resolves. It is the joyful release of energy as the song delicately unfolds from intro to extrospection.
