‘On A Lease’ is the first release from new Melbourne band Mersey, featuring Tim O’Connor of local band Ballads and Thomas Hyland of Melbourne (via Tassie) band Ivy St.
Formed in mid 2013, the four piece haven’t really been in a rush to play many shows, get any band shots, or drop any releases, until now. This first single has the driving bass of The Native Cats, and guitar pop sensibilities of The Go-Betweens – safe to say it’s a pretty promising release.
The band have announced they’ll soon be releasing a debut EP which was recorded by Naomune Anzai (No Zu/ Damn Terran) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddie Current Suppression Ring/ Total Control/ every single one of your favourite local bands).
‘On A Lease’ is currently available on the band’s Bandcamp page as a free download. For more info on Mersey you can visit the band’s Facebook.
