Meursault - Another

It’s Flashback Friday. And despite the impending weekend to look forward to, this day seemingly always has a bit of a somber vibe to it. Because it’s dedicated to amazing songs, and amazing bands, that were victims of circumstances outside of their locus of control. Today, we reflect back on a band that’s thankfully still active: Scotland’s Meursault. And in a more just world, we wouldn’t be writing about them at all. Their incredible 2011-2012 two-LP run should have cemented their place as lo-fi folk rock legends, but fate had other plans. That’s not to say they weren’t recognized. They’ve got a Wikipedia page. They’ve got a dedicated fanbase of individuals who share our own heartfelt sentiments. But they were, they are, destined for more. And while this blog post won’t provide them the artificial boost needed to cross that threshold, it’s still warranted as, at the very least, a tribute to a band that’s yet to reap the full fruits of their labor.
