The 3th album by MEROPE (2018) with arrangements of Lithuanian folk songs and own compositions.
A unique trio sound with a blend of
acoustic instruments, voice, el. guitar and electronics.
Naktes presents a world full of wonder, inspired by the atmosphere of the night.

After the release of Merope 'Salos' (STRLP-051 / gran21) we decided to repress Merope's previous album Naktes too.
A collaboration with granvat & Stroom.

I.
I tired out my feet
tramping dew's golden ore.
I leaned on a white three
until my arm was sore.
I gazed at the forest's green
till I couldn't see anymore.

II.
He filled his ears
until the birds were all heard,
He scrolled his eyes
until the stars were all learned.
