Boxout.fm recordings is thrilled to present the debut EP 'Manic Mode' from Goa-based duo Merak, a rising force in the music scene. Building on their success with the first single "Multicolored Dreams," the duo's collaboration with David Marston has taken their sound to new heights.
David Marston, known for his exceptional remix of Merak's initial single, has joined forces with the sibling duo to curate an EP that promises to captivate audiences. The culmination of their creative journey will be unleashed on July 30th.
In anticipation of the EP, we're excited to announce "Up High," a stunning single co-produced by David Marston and MadStarBase. This track beautifully blends poppy reggae and daytime summer vibes, reflecting Merak's artistic vision.
lyrics
Rays are running, pushing, dancing through,
They may seem calm but they take over the room
The moon has dreamed all of my troubles away
And lead me to enjoy another sunny day
Oh oh I feel something so good
Morning flow, body glow, give me hope cause I want you to know
For you, I told the birds to sing
Let them sing, let them sing, let them sing for the day has begun
We can all decide, what we wanna do, what we wanna do
Days will pass us by, keep your head up high, sunshine
If you loosen your reins you’ll feel lighter
Just light a firecracker and write a message in the sky
We can all decide, what we wanna do, what we wanna do
Days will pass us by, keep your head up high, sunshine
