UK’s Merz has released 6 albums since his debut. After huge hype & a major label release in 1999, he walked away from the deal & disappeared completely. Returning from self-imposed exile in 2005, he released second album Loveheart on UK indie label Gronland, a work that won him renewed respect, then in 2008 scaled the iTunes charts in the USA with follow-up album Moi et Mon Camion, solidifying his reputation for heartfelt tunes, intricate production & enigmatic displays of multi-instrumental talent.
His 4th album, No Compass Will Find Home, recorded in the Swiss Alps & produced with electronic music pioneer Matthew Herbert, was released on Accidental Records Jan 2013 and subsequently gave birth to a follow up collaboration; No Compass Will Find Home (Julian Sartorius Drum & Vocal Renditions), a radical re-working of the original record by experimental drummer Julian Sartorius.
In 2015 Accidental Records released the fifth Merz album Thinking Like A Mountain, mixed by Matthew Herbert.
