Sounds from the UK

07/03/2025 |

Hailing from the UK and recorded in Bristol, Meridia’s "Cut The Cloth" is a captivating sonic journey that seamlessly blends diverse musical influences into a cohesive and dynamic experience. The track opens with a clean guitar intro that carries a distinct Cuban/Caribbean son vibe. This warm, tropical foundation is soon layered with a super-processed guitar that introduces an aquatic, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The interplay between these organic and synthetic elements creates a rich soundscape that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. When the drums finally burst in, they bring with them a jumping groove that propels the song forward, transforming it into an irresistible, high-energy track.

At the heart of "Cut The Cloth" lies a voice brimming with lyricism and emotion, delivering a performance that strikes a deeply human chord. The vocalist’s style recalls the expressive delivery of Beto Cuevas from La Ley, blending vulnerability and strength in equal measure. This lyrical depth is matched by the song’s dynamic instrumentation, which occasionally mirrors the vibe of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The interplay between the vocals and the rhythm section creates a sense of urgency and excitement, keeping listeners fully immersed in the music. It’s a track that invites repeated listens, revealing new layers and details with each play.

This track is part of Meridia's debut album “The Puzzling Meridian” and it must be said that the bar is set pretty high!
