NEWS - MERPIRE announces new album "Milk Pool" and shares new single 'Bigger'
Coming to life via collaboration with London-based producer/engineer James Dring (Nilüfer Yanya, Genesis Owusu, Porches) who hand-picked 'Bigger' to work on with Merpire after they connected in 2022 during her first UK shows, the track's giddying peaks and heart-stopping valleys hammer home Merpire's gift for organic dynamism that feels equally alluring and slightly unsettling, with a self-directed video shot on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country to match. True to its name, 'Bigger's tight 3-min run time builds from a nostalgic cassette sample, heartfelt indie verses and a blush-inducing surf-rock-inspired chorus, ultimately giving way to head-thrashing guitar/synth lines with all the spike, sparkle and spunk of late 00/early 10s alt-pop - also plunging further into sex and desire than the self-admittedly "horniest yet" lyrics found on lead single 'Premonition' which marked Merpire's first official new release in 4 years on Valentine's Day, and her first time writing so openly about these themes.
