If you hadn't already guessed, turns out MERMAID + VAMPIRE = a multi-talented MERPIRE. With such a moniker befitting of the singer/songwriter's hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate harmonies reminiscent of Bat For Lashes, Beach House, Mitski and Angel Olsen, Rhiannon Arkinson-Howatt has quickly risen to local fame and supported the likes of Didirri, Angie McMahon, Olympia, Phantastic Ferniture and more. Listen in as MERPIRE chats with host Michael Szumowski to explore the ins and outs of musical life across Sydney and Melbourne, building a sturdy band, and her creative processes.
