Merce Lemon has shared “Crow,” a track off te singer/songwriter’s forthcoming album Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild, available September 27th via Darling Recordings. ”Say I was a lonely gust of wind / could I redirect them,” she muses in “Crow”, one of the more hopeful tracks on the record. “Every year the crows migrate over Pittsburgh,” says Merce, “I wrote this song after sitting on my roof in 2019, watching the sky turn black with fluttering wings, flying in mass towards the blue water tower planted on the hill in the distance.”

After the release of her 2020 album Moonth, Merce took a step back to reassess during an era of anxiety and lockdown – even the reliably nourishing exercise of sharing and playing music felt precarious. “I got dirty and slept outside most of the summer. I learned a lot about plants and farming, just writing for myself, and in that time I just slowly accumulated songs.”

Merce has performed alongside feeble little horse, Horse Jumper of Love, Squirrel Flower, Water From Your Eyes, and more. She is is on tour now with Teethe, before a headline run in October with stops in Vermont, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and her hometown of Pittsburgh.
