San Francisco-based Meridians is Julie Napolin (ex-Citay) and Trevor Healy (Paper Legs and ex-Cakes of Light, Weigh Down). Their open-form ballads are alternately driving and hypnotic, exploring the patterns, overtones, and consonances created by voice and two guitars. There are echoes of British folk, minimalism and the more cinematic strains of krautrock as the two combine intricate electric, acoustic and 12-string guitar melodies over pulsing loops of flute, violin, found objects and oscillators. Meridians will be releasing their first record in Winter 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
