You can listen to “spittake (deluxe) Here

Blending gauzy shoegaze textures, grungy guitars, and razor-sharp lyricism, spittake (deluxe) gives a more unfiltered glimpse into the messy, uncertain, and deeply human process behind the music. Through candid reflections on love, loss, nostalgia, youth, anxiety, and self-doubt, meg draws listeners deeper into her sonic world with sharp self-awareness and a distinctly self-deprecating edge.

“These B-sides, these demos, this deluxe—it’s a celebration of all the little choices that made ‘spittake’ what it is,” meg says. “Creating is such a vulnerable playground. It’s a place to make mistakes. It’s a place to try these characters and voices and performances without anyone watching. I wanted to show how much beauty can exist in the unfinished and imperfect.”

In listening to spittake (deluxe) you can hear the ever evolving artistry of meg elsier.

One of the most exciting and electrifying new voices in the indie-rock scene, meg elsier juxtaposes sweet vocals and opulent melodies with grungy guitars and weighty production. Her 2024 debut LP garnered praise from DIY Magazine, OnesToWatch, and CLASH for its emotionally raw storytelling and distinct sonic identity. Known for her emotionally charged live shows, meg recently wrapped tours with Blondshell and Liz Cooper, further cementing her reputation as one of indie rock’s most compelling new voices.

Our favorite track on Spittake (deluxe) , is “run[old song]”. We are absolutely in love with the sound and vibe on this track. It is meg elsier at her absolute best.

Spittake (deluxe) from meg elsier, is an absolute delight.
