Hyper-isolation kept coming up,” Mering says. “Our culture relies less and less on people. Something is off, and even though the feeling appears differently for each individual, it is universal.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther tracks follow in kind. The lullaby-like “\u003cem\u003eGrapevine\u003c\/em\u003e” chronicles the splintering of a human connection. The otherworldly dirge “\u003cem\u003eGod Turn Me into a Flower\u003c\/em\u003e” serves as allegory about our collective hubris. “\u003cem\u003eThe Worst Is Done\u003c\/em\u003e” is an ominous warning, set against a deceivingly breezy pop melody. “Chaos is natural. But so is negentropy, or the tendency for things to fall into order,” she says. “These songs may not be manifestos or solutions, but I know they shed light on the meaning of our contemporary disillusionment.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black Vinyl","offer_id":56915732136281,"sku":"SDZ-42882","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/products\/Weyes_Blood_-_And_in_the_Darkness__Hearts_Aglow_bab37321-d1ef-4603-a98b-ed19fc37bee1.jpg?v=1662997344","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/weyes-blood-and-in-the-darkness-hearts-aglow-repress","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
