**Merpire** is the dreamy indie-pop project of Australian singer-songwriter Rhiannon Atkinson-Howatt, a Melbourne-based artist known for her introspective lyricism and lush, atmospheric soundscapes. Emerging in the late 2010s, she quickly carved a niche with her candid storytelling and genre-blurring style, blending indie-rock intimacy with synth-pop shimmer. Tracks like "Dinosaur" and "Village" showcase her knack for wrapping raw emotional themes in hazy, melodic textures, while live recordings like "After The Party (Live)" highlight her dynamic stage presence.
With releases like her 2021 debut EP *Simulation Ride* and recent singles such as "Heavy Feeling" and "Bigger," Merpire leans into themes of self-discovery and vulnerability, often collaborating with producers like Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) to refine her expansive yet deeply personal sound. Her music feels like a late-night conversation—honest, comforting, and beautifully restless.
