Meryl Streek - Songs For The Deceased (2024)
"Songs For The Deceased," released on October 25, 2024, is Meryl Streek's second album, following his 2022 debut "796." The album blends experimental electronica with explosive punk, featuring collaborations with artists like Kingsley Hall of Benefits, Cal Graham from The Chisel, and Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers. Lyrically, it addresses themes of betrayal, murder, injustice, and corruption, drawing from personal experiences and historical tragedies in Dublin. Tracks such as "Paddy," a tribute to Streek's uncle, and "The Stardust," commemorating the 1981 Stardust fire victims, showcase his impassioned spoken-word performance over a fusion of news samples, distorted guitars, electronic beats, and traditional Irish music. Critics have praised the album for its visceral political commentary and vibrant sonic landscape, solidifying Streek's impact on the music scene.
