another song we expect to come out very well once we finish writing it and do a proper recording of it in the studio

meerkat - my heroin (test recording)

we heard the truth
we knew the ravages of youth
we saw the bell
it tolls its broken psalm of hell

but none of them hear the call.
none of them respond at all.




another sample from the album we're finishing up. sophie wants to call it "stregheria" and annelise wants to call it "you only die once" and emma's dead. i think annelise has it right but sophie makes some good points.

meerkat - the bell (sample test)

it's almost better when everything goes wrong

meerkat - drunk grindhouse indie dance techno-house dj mix

meerkat - lost love (aradia's song)

meerkat - le valet de chambre (bandcamp release)

meerkat - the pendulum (bandcamp release)

a piece we wrote ages ago!

we're back in the studio making our next album. annelise pointed out that we can let people download "eye contact" for free if we want by now. so...

:)

Eye Contact EP

meerkat - eye contact (original version)

a sample production of our next single composition, a grindhouse techno work-in-progress inspired by tana (la dea della luna) dedicated to witches all!

meerkat - luna bella luna (early test)

emma and zoë got some new toys including an insane multipurpose pedal and a violently over-loaded audio interface relieved by a dangerously face-open controller ... gooahh i'm soooo bored... sophs?

(oh i should add this too -s)
-annie

...okay. here is our band meerkat's "the showstopper" which i think i was drunk during? i dunno, zoë performed it and emma produced it. it's fine. annelise loves it and had to go cry which is why i'm finishing this. no idea where zo is and emma's asleep (do NOT ask me to check her pulse).

probably listen to it? it's definitely a song. it's difficult to argue against that.

-sophia

post-script. i would guess zoë would write about the length of 2:22. obviously a reference to holden's "intentionally left blank" and cage's "4'33"' ... in fact since i'm stuck with this instead of my usual job i may just write produce and upload "james holden - intentionally left blank (meerkat remix)" and see how funny that is when the rest of the coven gets back to studio. y'know, like... what's it called... awake! f'king hell!

-sophs again

Musical Roulette

the showstopper (meerkat) no. 01

some songs - ones by which we are violently taken - don't need to be changed or even covered! so why we'd subject anyone to this via internetwork is a bit of a mystery; whoever solves it gets a pie!

blackbird fly! w/love,
- zoë emma annie sophs / meerkat

the beatles - blackbird (meerkat cover)

this one's become to us like that other girl to the door she kept painting. this time emma sings and zoë & annelise co-produce. sophia agrees that this is a song.

we love you!
- meerkat the band

postscript: no. 01 is in our recent posted pieces. & more are probably coming. sorry.藁藁。

The Showstopper

the showstopper (meerkat) no. 02

the view from halfway down (meerkat)

a song you taught us when we were small..

it took us a little to figure out. we'll be doing more. we love you kind of!

- zoë, emma, annie, sophie / meerkat

the showstopper [reprise] (meerkat) no. 01

kill the dove and wake the owl

we love you!

- meerkat (zoë emma annie sophs)

meerkat - apothaea (early demo)

iris sang something, emma and zoë sang something, everyone f'cked the sh't out of it, annie watched, emmy produced the f'ck out of it, oh i guess i watched too thanks annelise

she just walks away! sophia, she. whatever, this is a song for doves. but mostly it's for owls who get that joke.

recorded at MCA by meerkat the band | 2020.07.15

empty nesting doll is a conceptual record for which this performance and recording serves as a stake-claim hybrid concept and proof thereof.

meerkat - empty nesting doll

our band is called meerkat & we play various instruments from the synthesizer to the donkey to the guitar and between and around.

we are four strong. zoë performs most live things and writes melodic information. oh she also does all the sound design but emma handles our more technical engineering. emma is our lead producer and percussion theorist. annelise writes most of the lyrics when zoëanna gets excited about a concept but writes a play in 433 acts by accident; zoë is the biggest idiot i know and i know three people. there happy? -sophie

sheesh sophia, i said tell it like it is not be really really mean to me and get me all turned on.

oh right: and sophie is our manager in studio and on tour. & she’s our substance sponsor. without her we would’ve run out years ago.

(ugh. sign stuff yourselves!!! -annelise)
-zoë

i had no idea i get lead songwriter credits, what an extremely mild honour! we're a really adept, obviously-long-initiated, coven of elderly/eternally-young witches. i thought i was the game designer. ok the word "game" woke emma. f'ck me -- i mean, yay! damn dvorak board.

-annie

oh the public gets free jokes but me and zoë have to wager "the non-broken state of your arms" -- real nice annie. wait, what is this for? if this doesn't stop our fanbase from growing i'm not interes -- lol i was trying to record video of annelise shivering with perceived ickyness -- she's very fast and also plays something but i can't remember what. it might be our string parts? she's a prodigy. zoë can play them too though and with my production you won't know the difference, but that's because you're an idiot! you get it. oh wait, you don't! that's okay, here's an alternative bio:

we make pop music that will impress your friends!

-emma
