Take A Ride Through Mermaidens' Twisted Twilight World In The Video For "Sunstone"

September 18, 2017

Mermaidens are a three-piece band out of New Zealand. From just recently discovered them, their characterized by intricate and unique songwriting, boldly raw, yet also refined. Singer Lily Paris West's voice is like a hypnotic and entrancing siren call that can so easily shift gears between a sultry coo to a full blown emotional shriek. 

The Wellington-based band draws inspiration from bands like Warpaint (listen for the contagious and perfectly planned harmonies), Fugazi, Exploded View and Sleater-Kinney, offering a mesmerizing dip into the realms of post-punk and psych. 

Having just released their new album, Perfect Body, they've shared this new video for the album single "Sunstone". "Sunstone" is made up of three pretty different sounding sections, gradually becoming more and more brutal as the song progresses. It's like an unpredictable sonic journey, with no one hook that the song ever comes back to, but rather a constant progression of time signature changes, evolving guitar textures and heightened vocals. Take a ride through what the band calls "a twisted twilight world of tequila and Tupperware," below.

In 1997, Spiritualized's album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space was named album of the year  by NME magazine over much more glorified opus albums like Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns. The newest release from Jason Pierce & Co., And Nothing Hurt, is a similarly ambitious blend of shoegazer rock and indie R&B that is sure to keep his legion of fans happy, but let's hope that with lyrics like "Gonna burn brightly for a while/and then you're gone," it's not the last.
On their 6th album, veteran indie rock brooders Interpol team up with producer Dave Fridmann for their latest offering, Marauder. As always their songs are anchored by the moody tenor of dapper lead singer and sometime surfer Paul Banks. The only thing missing from previous releases are the strong bass lines of long time collaborator Carlos Dengler.  Standout tracks are "The Rover" and "Stay in Touch."
