O Mer – “Overflown” (Stereogum Premiere)
Brooklyn via Tel Aviv singer/songwriter/producer/guitarist O Mer smooths multiple genres together for introspective exploration through penetrating melodic lyrics. On “Overflown,” the multi-slasher combines intricate tribal-leaning drums, muffled guitars, and 8-bit-like synths to explore the dualities that can inhabit the same person. He subtly sings on the hook, “I wouldn’t know myself/ If I were to ht me in the face” in a tone full of uncertainty and wonder. Here’s what O Mer had a simple, but interesting bit to say about the track: “This song is a conversation between two different incarnations of one’s self.” Listen.
