Mermaidens is an enchanting indie rock band hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, known for their unique blend of dreamy textures, jangling guitars, and rich harmonies. The trio, comprising Gussie Larkin (guitar, vocals), Lily West (bass, vocals), and Abe Hollingsworth (drums), has captivated audiences with their thought-provoking lyrics and compelling soundscapes. Emerging onto the indie music scene with their notable debut album "Undergrowth" in 2016, Mermaidens quickly gained attention for their intricate songwriting and atmospheric aura.

Over the years, Mermaidens have refined their sound through a series of acclaimed releases. Their sophomore album, "Perfect Body," released in 2017, featured the standout track "Satsuma," which encapsulated their ability to weave vivid lyrical imagery with undulating guitar work. Their third album, "Look Me In The Eye," was unveiled in 2019 to critical praise, showcasing a more assertive and dynamic evolution of their sound, as heard in tracks like "I Might Disappear" and "Millennia." Consistently innovating, Mermaidens have shown their versatility not just through their originals but also through engaging reworks such as the "Sunstone" (Onono Remix). With their powerful explorations of themes like identity, empowerment, and the human condition, Mermaidens continue to solidify their place within the alternative music scene, both in New Zealand and internationally.
