Man this is some crazy ass muthafuckin' shit yo! Weyes Bluhd is the work of Philadelphia born Natalie Mering who creates mind bending improv compositions using home made/obscure instruments and vocals. I think she's done a little time in Jackie O' Motherfucker and Axolotl so she's no stranger to the age old skill of making a crazy racket. Shattered mirror and Liquid Castle are both fine examples of 4-track home recording at it's most extreme. Behind layers of mutant percussive noise an feedback the fundamentals of a hybrid form of pagan folk can be made out in the distance. Difficult to put into words, i urge you to check this out for yourself.

What their label says...
Memoirs of An Aesthete and Smokers Gifts are very excited to be collaborating on the release of this 7" by an up-and-coming talent from Philadelphia,USA, Weyes Bluhd, aka Natalie Mering. Whilst still in her teens she'd already feathered her cap touring with Jackie O' Motherfucker and Axolotl. Her impromtu Leeds show on a 2007 UK tour had everyone spellbound, and we just couldn't wait to release something by her. Playing all the instruments (including some contraptions of her own design), Weyes Bluhd conjures up two classics of eldritch pop on this fine biscuit. With a superbly home-made analogue feel (the master was sent on a cassette! yes, in this day and age), Natalie's skewed ballads drenched in feedback may remind us old folks of the Xpressway "sound" from way back.
