It is the final offering before the release of his debut global album Infinite Youth this Friday, April 9 via Humblebrag Records.
New Zealand artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Merk (a.k.a. Mark Perkins) has released new single "But She Loves You" today, premiered by Under The Radar. The song finds his plaintive vocals playing gently over plucky disco instrumentation wrapped in a 60's pop ballad blanket. It is the final offering before the release of his debut global album Infinite Youth this Friday, April 9 via Humblebrag Records. Previous album singles "Deep Dive" "H.N.Y.B", "Laps Around The Sun'', and "GOD" have earned critical acclaim spanning CLASH, SPIN Magazine, Northern Transmissions, BBC Radio 6, and Spotify playlist support across New Music Friday, Bedroom Pop, Fresh Finds and Indie Arrivals. An album that will capture you on first listen and then reward your every repetition, Infinite Youth reintroduces Merk and invites you, warmly, into his orbit.
Infinite Youth is a record that thrives on a certain simplicity of rhythm, melody, and lyric, and is compelled by contrast: pop songs influenced by art music, an album about adulthood that reflects heavily on what it is to be young, and a sonic world that is both expansive and deeply intimate. He has also announced his headline New Zealand tour, celebrating the album release, he will be playing across five cities in May. You can find tour dates and tickets HERE.
