Mermaid Avenue “Embers of Fires Gone”

Fresh from the oven, “Embers of Fires Gone” teases Mermaid Avenue’s upcoming third album. Revolving around the end of a chapter and moving on, the story-soaked single shares a piece of a weary heart that has borne too much.

Melodies passed between wailing lap steel and an introspective piano as if echoing the back-and-forth motions that one takes in the moment of saying goodbyes. There’s still so much to say, yet the words seem to have lost their way out. There are so many emotions in the collective sounds of “Embers of Fires Gone.” The feeling of warmth and nostalgia mixed with sadness, but there’s also the newfound relief and peace.

For Mermaid Avenue, music is a vessel to express and channel these very human experiences that have left a mark. To spark a genuine connection, the band strips away all rules and restraints, instead, they turn their attention purely onto storytelling and creating meaningful experiences.

Mermaid Avenue has something exciting in store for fans. And just like in the past they have only outlived expectations, what has yet to come will only see them leaping forward.
