Meital

How Long out 11/18 ❤︎⁠ Meital (pronounced May, like the month, and tall, like the artist herself is not) is a singer-songwriter based in NYC whose songs play like journal entries — confessional, introspective, and a little messy. From filling binders with poems at eight years old to pushing the boundaries of her phone storage with thousands of voice memos, she has always been drawn to the craft of turning feelings into something tangible. Her indie pop/folk sound is the product of working with producer Caleb Flood, who takes acoustic instruments and messes them up just enough to make things interesting. On Meital’s upcoming debut EP, you’ll hear accordion, toy piano, and even synths created by singing into the backside of a banjo. The lead single “Insomniac,” centered on a restless, fingerpicked guitar riff, tells a story of heartbreak, moving to New York on a whim, and losing the ability to sleep entirely. Out August 28th, the track is not about moving on, but moving forward.
