With hints of surf pop threaded throughout, helped with the infectious guitar motif 'around my neck' is the second single taken from the highly intriguing album project set for release on the 18th of November.
A kaleidoscopic medley of flavours, breakdowns, switch ups and builds, 'around my neck' is yet another demonstration of EPM's exceptional, tasteful talents and unshakeable chemistry as a band. With just enough variation to keep listeners hooked and tentatively resting on the edge of their seat all whilst remaining seamlessly cohesive and mellifluously fluid. A feat often attempted but rarely mastered with such ease and authenticity.
Following on from 2019's full length project debut, the highly acclaimed In Her Bones which saw Eugenia Post Meridiem make one of the coveted spots in Rolling Stone Italia's twenty Italian musical promises for 2020 alongside incredible support from Billboard, CLASH and VICE.

Much like a meteor blasting through space, the band continue to divulge their new, cosmic, musical odyssey like i need tension, piece by delectable piece. Dreamy, hypnotic and utterly other worldly yet tethered with sounds, qualities and textures of the past, EPM's music is an enigmatic smorgasbord of crisp tones, exquisite colour and unique delicacies quite simply unlike anything heard before.
