Weyes Blood - And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow

You wouldn't think that the new album from an artist whose previous two - Front Row Seat to Earth and Titanic Rising - I enjoyed heaps and have kept on listening to since they came out, with a sound that's really a pretty subtle evolution rather than any kind of departure, would require such repeated listening before properly coming into its own, but that's how it's been with Weyes Blood's And In the Darkness, Hearts Aglow for me. Whatever the reason, now it's sunk in, and its velvety pleasures feel like they've been present for a long time, one memorable song after another forming a sustained mood.
