Born from Eau Claire’s tightknit music scene, Meridene recorded their new sophomore album, Something Like Blood , at Justin Vernon’s increasingly prominent April Base studios, though the quartet owes more to Death Cab for Cutie’s jittery guitar-pop than Vernon’s ethereal folk. The album is a throwback to indie-rock as it existed at the turn of the century: hooky, immediate and unpretentious.
