mer marcum announces debut EP; unveils new single/video ‘stay away!’

Rising Brooklyn indie artist and producer mer marcum announces You Never Did Anything Wrong, her new EP, slated for release May 1. Today, she shares the second single from the project, ‘stay away!,’ produced by mer marcum and Pearce Gronek (Hudson Freeman, Hollis Howard). Accompanying the track is a VHS-taped video filmed in NYC, depicting ideas of rumination and toxic habits, airing out the dirty laundry and smoking too many cigarettes, directed and edited by Brooks Travers.

“This song is about a characteristically parasitic relationship. About a love, sweet and sticky, attracting ants. It’s about giving as much as you can to someone who willingly takes and takes and then meets your kindness with cruelty. This relationship left me feeling pathetic and empty, embarrassed, and confused, and upset enough to write this song called “stay away!” both a command and a question that dragged on far too long before I finally understood the only way to get out was to cut it off,” marcum says.
