Meraki by These Idle Hands
Meraki Press Release
These Idle Hands- Meraki , is the follow up to their stunning 2020 debut album Petrichor. Meraki see’s the eight piece explore new ground sonically, with the introduction of Bass Clarinet and Ronroco, to accompany their already vast musical pallet of strings, piano, double bass, banjos and guitars. Vocal harmonies also feature heavily on this album, as the band enjoys the luxury of having three main vocalists. Meraki explores themes of relationship breakdown, disenchantment, forgiveness & gratitude of family.
Meraki took most of 2021 to complete due the obstacles around Covid. It’s was recorded at Love St Studio’s with Scotty French at the helm & mastered at 12th & Vine with Paul Blakey.
