Arriving in 2022, Irish artist Meryl Streek was unaware of the impact his clash of experimental electronica and explosive punk would have on the music scene around him. Armed with just a microphone and a laptop, in less than a year the Dublin-based producer went from playing his first show in a local squat to performing live at Kentish Town Forum, London, supporting post-punk legends Public Image Ltd. Meryl Streek's debut album '796' (2022) cemented itself as one of the most visceral, important political records of the decade so far, with one critic praising it as 'the most incendiary and important punk rock album of the year' (Paul Brannigan/Louder). Though rooted in Irish socio-political commentary, the album's themes resonated with people around the world, leading to live performances across Europe and as far as Gran Canaria. 'Songs for the Deceased' once again saw the Irish artist enter Darklands Audio with producer Dan Doherty (Fontaines D.C.). The outcome is a kaleidoscopic fusion of news samples, distorted guitars, electronic beats, and traditional Irish music, all laying the foundation for Streek's impassioned spoken word performance.
