Oakland band Meernaa released this single last December but it didn't cross my desk until earlier this month when one of the promotion companies I hear from at the station sent it my way. I was certainly curious about the RIYL that listed both Cat Power and Erykah Badu, but the more accurate comp is the one the group make on their Bandcamp bio: "it feels like a fantasy designed by Solange and Grizzly Bear on mushrooms."
The ringing guitars definitely bring to mind some of Grizzly Bear's gentler numbers and Carly Bond's soulful, swooping vocals have some of the same sultry notes as Solange.
Bummed I didn't discover this earlier, but excited to hear more from Meernaa.
