Mermaid

Even the greatest skeptic will believe in soulmates upon hearing Brittany Campbell and Candace Quarrels’ story, which encompasses music, love, friendship, and so much more. Upon meeting in the Chicago production of Hamilton, the pair went on to form Mermaid, a Los Angeles-based project that defies genre and has even won the attention of Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard, who handpicked their song “Find Me” for NPR's Tiny Desk Top Shelf contest in 2020. Today, Mermaid is preparing to release their debut LP, Iridescence, featuring special guest saxophonist Braxton Cook, and co-producer Sam Hoffman (Mereba, Durand Bernarr). Arriving later in 2023, Iridescence is infused with soul and R&B and mixes in a heady combination of alt-rock, jazz, punk, pop, and metal. No matter what sonic shade Iridescence adopts, it is seamlessly held together by Mermaid’s transcendent harmonies and unabiding love for one another.
