MERIDENE ANNOUNCE LP & TOUR, GIVEAWAY MP3



Eau Claire four piece MERIDENE are excited to announce the release of their outstanding sophomore LP ‘SOMETHING LIKE BLOOD.’ To celebrate, Meridene are giving away the first album single “GONE BABY GONE” and showcasing songs from the new album along a midwest tour next month.

'Something Like Blood' was recorded by Meridene at the home studio of Bon Iver,  April Base, where they lived, breathed, and put their hearts into recording the album over four intense days. The album tracks, including the single "Gone Baby Gone," were produced and mixed by Brian Moen of Peter Wolf Crier, and mastered by T.W. Walsh (Pedro The Lion, The Soft Drugs). The result is an indie rock sound along the lines of The Shins, Ra Ra Riot, Death Cab and Cursive which finds Meridene growing beyond their 2008 college radio breakout debut lp 'You're Not Pretty, You're Worse.'

Meridene is giving away the driven pop gem "Gone Baby Gone" as a free download. Click here for mp3 download.
