Meyru is an up-and-coming band from Manhattan, New York City. After two years of touring and writing, they have released an enchanting indie-rock tune, entitled, “Off White.”
The accompanying music video finds Meyru aloof inside an off-white brick-and-cement studio. The theme of detachment – floating in some negative space – is threaded throughout the video and track. Also, the feeling of being there but not fully present is obvious. The lyrics, “So go on make up your mind, I won’t wait for you,” cuts to the center of what it means to be caught in a situation with no hope for return.
‘Off White’ contains a relatable narrative and pleasing vocals that will resonate well with fans of Lauren Preuss, Brodyn, and Lonesome Rhodes. The nostalgic-sounding tune possesses electric guitar and piano-laden instrumentation bursting with lo-fi pop, alternative, and indie-rock elements. Furthermore, “Off White” is featured on a three-track single alongside “Playing This Alone” and “I’d Ask…But I Know You’re Alright.” The latter was recently added to Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Indie and Apple Music’s New in Alternative and New in Rock. The single is also a part of an upcoming album, which finds the band teaming up with Sam Skinner (Pinegrove, Forth Wanderers) and Brooklyn-based producer, Cal Maro.
“‘Off White’ is the brief moment in-between confrontation and rejecting the truth. Musically, everything came together for us on this track. Recorded in a single day, ‘Off White’ is fast, to the point, and gut-wrenchingly honest.” – Meyru explained
Meyru supported the release of their debut album, “Good to See You,” with a series of sold-out shows in New York City, San Francisco, Atlanta, DC, and Charlotte. Now, they are putting the finishing touches on their sophomore project, which finds them recording each song live – with the intention of bringing out the true energy felt in their live shows. Also, they are calling on everything they know to bring fresh life to the album. It’s a nod to their ’90s influences and stripped down when compared to their debut release.
