Sydney post-punk quartet Mere Women are thrilled to finally release their 3rd LP Big Skies, out on Poison City Records. Big Skies has already garnered critical acclaim with a slew of positive reviews and steading loving on radio.

The 12 tracks which make up Big Skies explore themes of women’s experiences over generations and the simultaneous isolation and confinement felt by many women living in regional communities. From ‘Eternally’ to the almost operatic, key-driven ‘Curse’ – a track which could serve partly as an interlude, whilst creating the perfect precursor from where to launch into ‘Drive’ – and stunning album closer ‘Wanderer’, the tracks express feelings of being penned in, chained to family responsibilities and being unable to break away from tradition. The songs are haunting, restless and impeccably composed. A claustrophobic journey through wide open spaces.

Previously operating as a three-piece – Amy Wilson on vocals/keys, Flyn Mckinnirey on guitar and Kat Byrne on drums – they brought in Trisch Roberts on bass at the start of 2016 which has taken their sound to another level, now being able to find the space between keys and guitar that they had not previously explored.

 

Mere Women will be taking their acclaimed live show on the road this June and July,                                       performing songs from Big Skies live for the first time.
