Natalie Mering’s psychedelic chamber-folk act Weyes Blood is set to release a new album titled Front Row Seat To Earth later this month. In anticipation of the upcoming release, she’s released a video for “Generation Why,” a hymn that reflects on technology, our social media’d souls and what has or will become of them. The video is self-directed by Mering and features herself alongside pals Michael Collins and Shags Chamberlin as they smash a computer, only to find organs inside.
Watch the video for “Generation Why” above.
Front Row Seat To Earth comes out October 21st on Mexican Summer, pre-order it here. You can also catch Weyes Blood live at the dates below.
