about

Wood Lake has gotten back to basics and is once again writing music about the northern wilderness. Mer Bleue is very acoustic and delicate in nature, and takes a lot of inspiration from genres such as Neofolk and Ambient music. The entire album is laced with field recordings from different places the band has been during the production of this album.

An autumn album to it's very core, Mer Bleue is warm in colour but cold in production. The album is lofi in nature, with almost everything being recorded on SM57s except for the cymbals and field recordings, giving it a darker sound compared to past releases.

Mer Bleue is the first full length album to be recorded by the original Wood Lake lineup since 2016's Hell, and also features heavy input and performances from pianist/double bassist Paige Genest.
