From the scaffolds of her acoustic beginnings Merpire has developed an established sound of eerie synths, cinematic flourishes, haunting melodies and beautifully written, chilling vocals. Working closely with musician and producer Andy Bull, her anticipated 2017 single ‘Holding Breath’ flew to the number one spot on the triple j unearthed pop chart and #10 on their overall charts as well as being added to rotation on the national digital broadcaster and Sydney’s FBi Radio.

In 2017 Merpire landed the opening slot supporting Ainslie Wills on her July tour and relocated south from her hometown of Sydney shortly after. The now Melbourne based musician, is gearing up for a run of shows having just released her EP 'Endless Chatter'. She kicks things off with supporting Angie McMahon at her sold out Corner show in July, followed by Bello Winter Music Fest and headline launch shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

A Merpire live show is as captivating as it is dream-inducing, with Rhiannon’s disarming vocals holding you in a perpetual dream-state whilst shifting from lullaby-like guitar plucking to straight up power chords amidst unabashed storytelling and banter.

Recorded at Golden Retriever studios in Marrickville with Simon Berkelman as engineer, ‘Endless Chatter’ features notable performances from Andy Bull on synth/keys, Luke Davison (The Preatures) on drums, and Alex Bennison (Andy Bull, Jack River, Megan Washington) on guitar/bass and production.

2018 is sure to propel Merpire from a humble one-to-watch to a destined rising talent.

Stay tuned.
