Radio One Chicago

Meristems finds a way to split the level of fuzzy punk and soft lyrical lines. Grace Urrutia’s voice acts as a soothing melody over distorted guitars and intricate counter-melodies. Her literary message comes through in lyrics, where Hemingway and H. P. Lovecraft act as inspiration to the songs structures. The lo-fi sound production adds to the grungy undertones, yet the dissonant build-ups and mellow drones create a sense of uneasiness and wonder.
