Merk Infinite Youth
Release date:
April 9, 2021
Label:
Blue Marble Vinyl. On his new album Infinite Youth, New Zealand artist Merk examines the blurry line between adolescence and adult-hood, and all the clarity and mess that accompanies that blurring. This is a record that thrives on a certain simplicity of rhythm, melody and lyric, and is compelled by contrast: pop songs influenced by art music, an album about adulthood that reflects heavily on what it is to be young, and a sonic world that is both expansive and deeply intimate.
