🎶 New Music from Rural WA: Mergo Return with ‘Bat Country’
I had the pleasure of listening to rural Western Australian trio Mergo’s brand new single ‘Bat Country’, released on February 14, 2025. Produced by the acclaimed Rob Grant (Tame Impala, Spacey Jane, Pond), this acoustic track marks a bold new direction for the band. It’s an exciting and intimate debut into a more stripped-back sound that showcases their evolving artistry. Staying true to their roots, ‘Bat Country’ is steeped in the rugged, raw essence of Aussie-grunge while offering a more intimate side of their music.
“‘Bat Country’ is a meditation upon distant memories personalized by the scorched mirage visage of the Australian bush. The track captures a stripped-back sound that’s still unmistakably Mergo—gritty, emotive, and deeply connected to the harsh realities of life in rural WA.”

Song’s review
🎧 Feel the Raw Power of Mergo’s New Music ‘Bat Country’
In “Bat Country,” Mergo delivers a fierce and electrifying sonic ride that captures the raw intensity of rock in its most authentic form. From the first riff, the track bursts with a visceral energy, propelled by thunderous drums and gritty guitar work that call to mind the chaos and freedom of late-night drives through neon-lit cityscapes. Vocally, Mergo strikes a powerful balance between angst and melody, commanding the listener’s attention with a voice that is both urgent and unyielding.
The song’s arrangement feels meticulously crafted yet delightfully unrestrained, as though each note is a rebellion against the ordinary. Lyrically cryptic and charged with emotion, “Bat Country” explores themes of escape, inner unrest, and the seductive pull of danger, fitting for a track that feels like a modern-day rock opera compressed into just a few minutes. This isn’t just a song; it’s an adrenaline-fueled experience that proves Mergo is not only mastering their craft but redefining what rock can be in the now.
