"The deep, pure, Karen Carpenter croon of 28-year-old Californian Natalie Mering could still slavering beasts, and the pristine chamber pop of her third album sets it in a gentle, 70s singer-songwriter world seemingly untroubled by the present. Listen closer, though, and crisis is all around".

"Front Row Seat to Earth is Weyes Blood's second full-length album for Mexican Summer, following 2014's brilliant The Innocents. As with that album, here singer/songwriter Natalie Mering continues to refine her psychedelic folk-pop sound, placing less of an emphasis on experimentation and spotlighting her stunning voice and introspective, poetic lyrics".

"Along with the EP, this is the second record cover in a row that has Mering reposing in a landscape where soil and water mingle. Calling a cycle of psychically scarred love songs Front Row Seat to Earth teases parallels between natural and interpersonal ecologies; love in a life out of balance, the bio-dome of a relationship and the tightening boundaries of a planet once seemingly without end".

"The fourth full-length from singer/songwriter/producer Natalie Mering overflows with the misty sounds of late '60s folk and '70s AM radio, but her presence in these songs is modern and slyly knowing".
