There’s something special in discovering music from all over the world. You realize very quickly how talent is everywhere, and quality can be found in every corner of the blog. This time around we catapulted ourselves into Italy, discovering the poignant, dreamy and nostalgic post-rock of merrymount, local band with a knack for dream pop tones and sharp guitar riffs. Their latest single ‘The State I’m In’ hits heavily, providing anthemic melodies, marching drums and a cascade of subtle yet mesmerising soundscapes.
The song has a special quality that makes it stand out from other offerings in the scene. As if the Italian talents were able to capture a wide range of emotions in their creative output, from joy and excitement to sadness and reflection. The lyrical content is thoughtful and poignant, and the musicianship is impressive. Fagioli’s lead vocals know their place, yet they manage to connect with the listener with impressive emotional force.
Overall, merrymount are really special. They have a unique sound and presence that is sure to capture the attention of music fans everywhere. If you’re looking for something new and exciting, then this is definitely a band you should check out!
