Mermaidens are a three-piece outfit from Wellington, New Zealand, who are renowned for their intricate and unique songwriting, boldly raw but increasingly refined studio production, and a hypnotic live synergy that leaves audiences enchanted. Their entrance onto the NZ music scene was extremely strong following the releases of their widely acclaimed debut EP O in 2014 and subsequent album Undergrowth in 2016. As a result, they were offered dozens of national shows and international support slots, which led to them being picked up by Flying Nun records, who release the band’s first international album, Perfect Body, on 4th August 2017.
The excitement around Mermaidens’ debut album was encapsulated by i-D contributor Wendy Syfret, who described them as one of; “New Zealand’s most enigmatic and engaging young bands.”
Their impressive portfolio of support slots and sold out shows, attests to the charm and excellence of their live show. In just a few years Mermai dens have sold out major venues in New Zealand as well as supporting international acts such as Death Cab For Cutie, Sleater Kinney, and Mac Demarco, and Windhand.
