Merryn Jeann

Merryn Jeann is an Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She has crafted a genre-bending, dreamy world of soundscapes that bear a magnetic, musical wisdom. Sitting somewhere between Caroline Polachek, Cat Power, Weyes Blood, Feist, and Kelsey Lu, Merryn Jeann’s sound is fueled by authenticity. Her raw and honest self packaged into intricate and reflective morsels, many of which are yet to be revealed. After living in Paris for many years, Merryn recently returned to Australia to study Fine Arts in Melbourne, however after one semester, music drew her back in and became her primary focus once more. Through this short though profound experience at school, Merryn took the opportunity to truly recognise the visual arts angle as a lens to experience, see and understand her music making process and performance, to deepen this pre-existing relationship as demonstrated in her self directed, somewhat experimental videos (under the alias MAAMDAAM) and captivating live shows. DOG BEACH released February 23 on Rescue + Return Records is the follow-up to Merryn’s self-titled debut mini LP, which came out in 2019. The 10 song album was recorded in the UK at the end of 2022 and was produced by Rob Ellis who is most well known for his work and collaboration with PJ Harvey and Marianna Faithfull. The album has been well received and reviewed by important musical institutions like Rough Trade and KEXP where it was in the Top 10 most played albums in March earlier this year. Now settling into her new phase as a solo artist, you’ll find a profound storytelling and experimentation in her new music, aligning with sounds from the 90s and early 2000s. Merryn Jeann is a diverse artist, proudly free from the confines of a box.
