Merce Lemon has returned with new single “Will You Do Me A Kindness.” The song follows a recent single-split alongside Colin Miller (MJ Lenderman) of Bonnie Prince Billy covers and a an 18-month period that has seen her tour with feeble little horse, Horse Jumper of Love, Squirrel Flower, Sluice, and more.

Merce explains the song is “a collage of moments, lines, and feelings I had gathered over the months. The title comes from a quote I heard in the youtube video of the crass Winnebago man and the rest kind of spilled out from there. It is a song close to my heart, the inescapable loneliness we feel as humans, the little things we notice when we are alone, the fear yet desire to give ourselves wholly to another.

When I moved back to Pittsburgh at twenty years old, my new band consisted of my dad, his friend Jim Lingo, and Al Ebeling on drums. I called it my ‘dad band,’ and we toured and played shows with that line up for four years.” The era of the dad band has since come to a close, but Merce’s has just begun anew.

Nothing more distinctly showcases her exponential growth, as an artist and storyteller, nor more adequately prepares us for this new chapter to come, than “Will You Do Me A Kindness” – her first original music since 2020’s Moonth, it follows a recent single-split alongside Colin Miller (MJ Lenderman) of Bonnie Prince Billy covers, I See a Darkness / Gulf Shores
