Edinburgh indie folk/rock band Meursault made a name for themselves with their 08 debut Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing with Tongues, which was selected by Scottish culture magazine The Skinny as one of the top 20 Scottish albums of the decade. Sophomore effort All Creatures Will Make Merry showcases the talented musicianship and powerful songwriting of frontman Neil Pennycook and Meursault, with their distinctive blend of traditional folk elements, lo-fi electronics driven by drum machines, samplers and synthesizers, and affecting vocals. Meursault keeps audiences guessing with something new and creative, and All Creatures Will Make Merry delivers with standouts “Crank Resolutions” and “New Ruins.” Meursault has quickly become one of my favorite bands of the past couple years. – Written by JFelton
