New Zealand indie trifecta Mermaidens, make a resounding splash in the music scene yet again with the release of their fourth self-titled album. The trio, comprising of Gussie Larkin (guitar/vocals), Lily West (bass/vocals), and Abe Hollingsworth (drums), 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 self-titled album is a product of the band's tireless efforts between 2019 - 2022, and is 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 fame, 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.

Having released their last two albums through iconic local label&nbsp;Flying Nun,&nbsp;Mermaidens&nbsp;will be released independently. Creative control is an important pillar for the band, who are hands on in every facet of their projects.&nbsp;Mermaidens gather their community close via their hugely popular multi-city boutique festival Mermgrown, hosting peers including Womb, Hans Pucket, Vera Ellen (Girl Friday) and Kōtiro from 2021 onwards. They've been invited to share the stage with Death Cab For Cutie, Sleater-Kinney, Gang of Four, Parquet Courts, Lorde and The Veils.
