KK009: Merak - Big Fishes ft. Brown Vagabond
Established in August 2020, KRUNK KULTURE is a record label from the future by KRUNK. Big Fishes is a new single by Goan based brother - sister duo, Merak.
Let go of your angst about unjust politics with a new release by Merak titled 'Big Fishes'. A vintage, chill jazz beat progresses aggressively with internal rhymes to a head bobbing rhythm. Featuring Brown Vagabond (Berlin based rapper) as he addresses belligerent oppositions on an international level.
A blend of a soothing Rhodes melody with a sprinkle of jazz and a bold bassline. The sonic pitch-drift bass textures with a thumping kick, paints a picture of crowds protesting as they stand their ground. The song is designed to drive the listener to think about the political limbo Merak feels we're in.
Merak is an electronica music duo of siblings Brandon and Belinda Mendes. They focus on mood enhancing sound design and poetic lyrics. They play the guitar, piano and violin and incorporate these organic sounds with electronic components. They are inspired by Radiohead, Billie Eilish and The Marias etc.
Their most notable achievement is winning IndiaFilmProjects 50 hour challenge and recently released their first single through Delhi based label - BoxoutRecordings. Merak has been featured by Rolling Stone, Humming Heart, Rock Street Journal and more.
