Weyes Blood has shared a new track ahead of the release of her new album, Front Row Seat To Earth. The new single is called “Generation Why” and it has been released today through its accompanying short film music video. Directed by Natalie Mering (*Weyes Blood) herself, the follows her along with friends Michael Collins and Shags Chamberlain as they explore some wastelands and having a little fun with throwback tech gadgets, before encountering a telling spray-painted sign that reads “the future was here.”
The song is powered by a celestial finger-picking guitar part that comes together with Mering’s melodic vocals to make some Folk bliss. Front Row Seat To Earth will be released October 21st on Mexican Summer; pre-order it here: smarturl.it/
