It’s total anarchy, out here in the streets

That’s the sentiment shared by Kieran Mercer’s on his latest cut “Anarchy” and I’ll be damned if the Canadian soloist hasn’t tapped into the current climate quite keenly.

First taste of his upcoming EP Fools Gold, the alt-pop hot-take marks a new direction for the sonic journeyman, one he finally feels is his own, as he and producers Stephen “Koz” Kozmeniuk and Michael Wise harness vintage funk and contemporary soul to create a singular sound.

The end result is an exciting blend of melody and lyric. Stream below, cop your own [via 604Records], and get yourself familiar with the emboldened bard:
