Merrick, “Ladders to Fire” from Merrick (2001)

SO MANY CHOICES for this fortnight's prompt, I found it incredibly hard to pick one. In the end, I went for an artist that I think you’re least likely to know whom I haven’t featured before, and with a sound dissimilar to others I’ve posted recently.

I don’t know much about Merrick - seems they released two albums in 2001, then the two members, Bryony Atkinson and Indra George, went on to other projects. I’m pretty sure I discovered them during that period when the #WB or #CW or whatever that network called itself at the time apparently had someone on staff curating some pretty cool #Indie music for those ‘disaffected teen’ dramas they were pouring out, and started watching them for that reason. (Really!) My guess is that some track on this Merrick album was featured on #OneTreeHill, but cannot confirm.

#Auckland #OneTreeHill I was wondering why this sheep was all trussed up in a harness. And then it became apparent very quickly that he was a boy and all the ohers in the paddock were girls ...
