PUBLISHED IN ISSUE 16

Weyes Blood, otherwise known as Natalie Mering, is a Goddess Warrior fighting her way through life’s bullshit and transforming her frustration into beautiful, emotional, retro- futuristic 70s folk music. A true Gemini, she first appears as an urban, cool babe-around- town, but stick around a little longer and she turns into a hippie nomad from another time. Or as she puts it, “a renaissance punk, flaunting her fatal shimmer.” Here Natalie takes us on an intimate tour of her bedroom, offering us a glimpse into the siren’s soul, via her earthly treasures. -Kiera McNally
