About
Merle writes alt pop in Dutch, and her songs have a habit of changing colour halfway through. Synthesizers, quiet piano songs and breakbeats all get their turn, so a track that starts out intimate can end up somewhere you didn't see coming. It's catchy and unpredictable at the same time, with lyrics that land close to home. On stage she mixes vulnerability with humor and a healthy dose of self mockery, which keeps the whole thing feeling personal rather than polished. It sits in the nederpop corner, but with more edge and more surprises than that label usually suggests.
