Mermaidens

Brand new sealed album from NZs Mermaidens.

Pōneke power trio Mermaidens are back, and back in style! That magical combo of Gussie Larkin (guitar and vocals), Lily West (bass and vocals) and Abe Hollingsworth (drums), have announced their fourth album, a self-titled exercise in indie brilliance, with first single I like to be alone making its debut this very morning. Largely recorded with the wizardly Lee Prebble at his Surgery Studios, and produced by the band alongside The Phoenix Foundation's Samuel Flynn Scott, whose mentorship the band say helped push them beyond their comfort zone, Mermaidens finds the band taking a DIY approach, releasing the album entirely independently. Exploring themes of "self-awareness, introspection, long-term love, and even channelling political anger and frustration", we are 101% ready for this! - Flying Out

Indie trio Mermaidens, comprising of Gussie Larkin (guitar and vocals), Lily West (bass and vocals) and Abe Hollingsworth (drums), are set to make a resounding splash in the music scene yet again with the announcement of their fourth self-titled album and release of the project's first single I like to be alone. Mermaidens has been on an impressive journey of musical excellence, boasting three critically acclaimed albums, international tours and a slew of accolades to their name. 

With a sound that is both bold and adventurous, Mermaidens' music is a testament to their unwavering creativity and relentless work ethic. Their upcoming self-titled album, a product of the band's tireless efforts between 2019 to 2022, promises to be a captivating sonic journey, delving into themes of self-awareness, introspection, long-term love, and even channeling political anger and frustration.

Recorded mainly at Surgery Studios in Wellington, with the engineering prowess of Lee Prebble and produced by Samuel Flynn-Scott of The Phoenix Foundation, the album also saw the band stepping up their production game with Gussie and Lily working their magic with Protools in their DIY home studios, showcasing their growth and versatility as artists.
