Songwriter Carly Bond’s new album under her pseudonym Meernaa, pairs dusky, dexterous vocals with sensual, technically refined compositions. The artful grooves of the upcoming So Far So Good carry forward influences such as Sade, Cate Le Bon, Minnie Riperton, and Talk Talk. Keeled Scales will release So Far So Good in October 2023 via Secretly Distribution.

Throughout So Far So Good’s 11 tracks, Bond smoothly maneuvers her deft vocals among the sleek shapes of chilled funk, inviting R&B, and folk/pop innovations. Timeless with unexpected turns, Bond’s spacious songs flow with the analog certainty of pristine guitar, wizardly synths, and dance-bating bass and percussion.

Meernaa’s previously released singles “Another Dimension” and “On My Line '' introduce a celestial and soulful album. The weather of these songs is varied, the poetry shifting its winds from tender playfulness to desire. Amelia Maher of The Line of Best Fit called Bond’s imagination “as intriguing as it is beguiling and mysterious.” Meernaa’s So Far So Good travels perfectly with a glistening night out or a drive to a secret hideaway.

Part of a blooming Los Angeles music scene, Carly Bond is a studio engineer and partner at Altamira Sound studios. As a session and touring guitarist she's worked with artists such as Luke Temple, Jerry Paper, Suzanne Vallie, and Miya Folick.

Joining lineups including Helado Negro, Miya Folick, Nilüfer Yanya, Brijean, and Sam Evian, Bond leads a complete band, which fully realize Meernaa’s smoldering performances. In support of So Far So Good, Meernaa will tour broadly from their homebase in Los Angeles, California.
