After celebrating the 20th anniversary of the existence of Merge, we thought about breathing new life into our band. We were uncertain whether Merge would still have an audience or if people would even remember we existed. It turned out, however; that people did remember us and the response we got from old fans and public in general has been overwhelming and that motivates us. In 2015 we created a side project called Indypop. We released three singles and two videoclips in our mother language. We wanted to learn how things work in this new digital era and how to take care of production, distribution, promotion and pretty much everything on our own. It has been a slow and hard process, but we have learned a lot and we felt it was time to give Merge another go. And here we are, 21 years later. Older but full of energy and ideas. We started off 2020 with the release of “Entertainment”, an EP that includes our version of B-Movie’s classic “Nowhere Girl”. We made a remix of the song “Never Be” by Somegirl). We also made the well received singles “Red Valentine” and “Universe”. Our newest output is “Wagging Tongue”, a cover version by Depeche Mode which will also get a physical release on the forthcoming Depeche Mode tribute record compiled by conzoom records later this year. We are back. We are strong. We have allowed ourselves to think the unthinkable, and we want you to join our new journey and to believe the unbelievable. Merge, 2023.
