Merle Law

Merle Law is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR, whose songs create an intricate tapestry of memory and longing. Law has developed a sound driven by untraditional counter rhythms, a melodic tide pool and personal poetry that relates to the listener. Born Meredith Law to a Philly drummer and a singer from south Louisiana, Merle’s songs are steeped in the textures of the homes they’ve inhabited: from the moss-draped bayou to the deep and foreboding gray fog of the Pacific Northwest, and the illustrious roads in between that connect them. Their debut album Lonely Lovin’ was recorded to tape on a cheap nylon string guitar with a spectral spread of tasteful alternative musicality.
