New Music: Ariel Pink & Weyes Blood – “Tears on Fire”

If you were to pair up two fringe pop elements in hopes of inspiring an alchemic reaction, you could do a lot worse than Ariel Pink (a.k.a. Ariel Rosenberg) and Weyes Blood (a.k.a. Natalie Mering). The pair have a collaborative EP called Myths 002 in the works, and today they’ve shared lead track “Tears on Fire,” a unconventionally paced retro groove punctuated by Mering’s operatic vocals.

Myths 002 is out January 27 from Mexican Summer. It was recorded in the famously arty town of Marfa, Texas; Mexican Summer also curates the Marfa Myths festival, which takes place in March. Listen to “Tears on Fire” and see the EP track list below.
