Official video for "Water For Your Eyes" by Camille Doussy:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dM5QpTKKOA

Merdh Laleh is the solo moniker of Copenhagen-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Valdemar Kragelund. Having contributed with the blissful closing track "Restless Victory" to the "Embrace" compilation released on danish imprint Petrola 80 in 2018, Merdh Laleh is now ready with his debut full length "Water For Your Eyes" to be released on Petrola 80 June 14th 2019.

The result is an emotive and electro-acoustic venture taking the form of an ambient record inspired by love and the loss of it, bright and gentle in some passages while harsh and chaotic in others. As the album's narrative unfolds, Merdh Laleh's atmospheric yet fragile musical language manifests itself through a characteristic playfulness and experimentation. Smouldering drones and soothing choir pads are established throughout a total of 10 tracks, with audible ornaments and hidden details crackling through the surface, showcasing the depth and layers of Merdh Laleh's sound and compositional style.

Among others, "Water For Your Eyes" features guest appearances from Kragelund's fellow band members off impro trio Køs - saxophone player Maria Dybbroe and drummer Kristian Isholm, connecting his background in free jazz music with his more recent endeavours in electronic production.
