Meridians on Lastfm

San Francisco-based Meridians is Julie Napolin (ex-Citay) and Trevor Healy (Paper Legs and ex-Cakes of Light, Weigh Down). Their open-form ballads are alternately driving and hypnotic, exploring the patterns, overtones, and consonances created by voice and two guitars. There are echoes of British folk, minimalism and the more cinematic strains of krautrock as the two combine intricate electric, acoustic and 12-string guitar melodies over pulsing loops of flute, violin, found objects and oscillators.

Meridians is currently finishing their first record with Tim Green of The Fucking Champs at Louder Studios and looking for a label. Stayed tuned for release information.
