Commenting on “Across the Ocean,” MEER had this to say: “Across The Ocean is a song about wanting out. The song encapsulates the moment when you decide to let go of your fears end start a journey that may take you to a better place. What lies around the bend? On the other side of the sea? The song was made during a band getaway in the deep forests of Hedmark. Maybe that’s why it feels a little mysterious?”

A video of MEER performing an earlier version of “Across The Sea” can be seen below:

New album “Playing House” was recorded at Ocean Sound Recording and Tanken, with producer Lars Gärtner Fremmerlid (Einar Stray Orchestra) at the helm, and with artwork by Helena Haglund and Simen Skari.

Formed in Hamar, Norway, in 2008, originally as a duo known as Ted Glen ExtendedMEER has expanded its lineup to eight (!) members, comprising Johanne Kippersund on vocals, Knut Kippersund on vocals, Eivind Strømstad on guitar, Åsa Ree on violin, Ingvild Nordstoga Eide on viola, Ole Gjøstøl on keyboards, Morten Strypet on bass and Mats Lillehaug on drums.

The additional members  brought with them their own individual styles and musical interests and influences, and it is therefore not surprising that MEER‘s music is as eclectic, and interesting, as it is today.

Playing House will be available in CD, Digital and 2xLP formats, and is now available to pre-order here in Europe and here in the USA.
