Pittsburgh-based artist Merce Lemon has unveiled the title track from her upcoming album Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild. Following last month’s ‘Backyard Lover’, the song also serves as the album’s closer. Give it a listen below.
“This song is really the first time I collaborated with someone from the early stages of writing, my friend Spencer Smith, who was playing keys in my band at the time, sent me a voice memo of a chord progression he had written,” Lemon explained. “I had been toying with an idea for a song based on a story my friend had told me about Michael Hurley, but I hadn’t found a home for the lyrics. This song came to life singing over Spencer’s piano on loop until the melody settled in.”
Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild is set to arrive on September 27 via Darling Recordings.
