Indie Riser Mercury Caps Off Trilogy of Songs with New Release “The Fly”

Showcasing her gloomy post-rock side

Capping off a trilogy of new singles released over the past month, mercury has debuted her latest single “The Fly.” Following up the grungy “Swarm The Hive Mind” and melancholic slow-burn “What You Want Me To Say,” “The Fly” showcases a gloomy post-rock side of the rising artist’s sonic arsenal.

It’s abstractly about a lot of things,” says Maddie Kerr, the architect behind the Nashville-based indie project. “Winning, making mistakes, losing, obsessive love, overthinking love, and being hurt by it.

The trio of newly-released songs find mercury reuniting with Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail), one of indie rock’s most coveted producers with whom she teamed up to record her most recent EP.

mercury’s new music arrives alongside the news of a forthcoming North American tour supporting The Backfires in Spring 2025. Kicking off on February 20 in Dallas, TX, the run will see Kerr bringing her colossal live presence to fifteen cities through mid-March.
