Sydney songstress Merpire has followed up her excellent 2017 release “Holding Breath” with “Hauntways,” another perfect slice of synth-pop that will get under your skin from the first listen. It’s the sort of track that will have you dancing around you bedroom, reminiscing over all those romantic encounters that didn’t pan out.
“’Hauntways’ is about a fleeting kiss. I tried writing about it now and then but it wasn’t until I stood in the very spot where it happened in my hallway that this song finally came out,” Merpire said.
Merpire will launch “Hauntways” with her new all-female band this March. The single launches will happen at Melbourne’s Grace Darling Hotel on March 1 and Sydney’s Waywards on March 3. If you can’t wait that long, you can see Merpire supporting Feelds (who will return the favour at her Sydney launch) at The Catfish in Fitzroy on February 23.
