Brooklyn-based band LAPÊCHE show an anthemic and melodic rock sound on new track “Mermaid Blues.” Singer/guitarist Krista Diem delivers a consuming vocal performance, maintaining an alluring balance between the verses’ dreamier character and the eruptive rises, exuding a ’90s alt-rock nostalgia at points like the two-minute turn. Following the rise, crisp guitar jangles mesh with responsive vocal layers for a replay-inducing structural twist, further exemplifying the band’s stellar songwriting and compelling rock sound.
