“Stunning.” – Clash

“The most magical single of the year so far.” - KCRW’s Travis Holcombe
Mermaid Chunky. It’s all in a name, sometimes. The danceable, costumed, curiosity
rich duo of artists Freya Tate and Moina Moin are as imaginative as they profess. Or,
to get more to the point, as we all need them to be.
Freya and Moina are two visual artists and musicians from Stroud and South
London, places where they importantly found communities (Stroud’s SVA and the
capital’s Total Refreshment Centre) of like minded people just as willing to chase
down an idea to its possibly illogical conclusion. And it is in the collective and the
idea of participation that Mermaid Chunky really clicks. This is a party, a collective
dance, made all the better with more: people, ideas, layers, kick drums, recorders,
saxophones, frogs
To wit, the album’s first track and first single, “Céilí,” named after a traditional
Scottish or Irish social gathering and dance, which builds from a simple recorder line
into a swelling, warm burst of major chord dance music. Goosebumps or check your
pulse.
