mermaid folk rock
/ˈmɜːmeɪd fəʊk rɒk/ noun
genre · est. Tidefall
1. Mermaid folk rock is an experimental indie genre that blends acoustic folk elements with California surf rock and nature, often oceanic, soundscapes. Created by Meggofish through her album, Tidefall, the genre expresses whimsical femininity, yearning and introspection through observations about the relationship between art, self, and nature.
2. Mermaid folk rock is described as bridging the gap between energetic, angsty, and delicate, almost as if emulating the spirit of the aforementioned mystical mermaid creature. Visuals of the genre can be most represented through Meggofish’s “Pacifist” music video, in which the cinematography explores the interaction between land and sea in her journey to chase a “ghost” between the worlds.
