Portland, Oregon trio Meringue showed up late last
year with “Silly
Girl”, a Television Personalities cover, followed immediately by debut EP
Heavy Lime, available digitally
and on cassette. “Weird Blues” is the kick-off track for Meringue’s upcoming
split cassette EP with The Wild
Body, due for release August 5th, 2018. Meringue includes Kelly Dawson and Elaina
Tardif sharing vocal, guitar, and bass duties, with Bryan Robertson on drums. Elaina
and Bryan may be familiar from WTSH-beloved Portland quintet Tender
Age, whose debut full-length Becoming
Real Forever drops July 9th.
The brand new video for “Weird Blues” features
a wizard in a dark dive bar whose tarot readings effect events in a nearby
laundromat. The seventies vibe in the lyrics and video reflect Kelly’s inspiration
by the story of Donna Manson, one of serial killer Ted Bundy’s victims.
