Meg Myers has much to celebrate with her sophomore album ‘Take Me To The Disco’ (300 Entertainment). Following release, the sprawling 12-song set has earned glowing reviews fromAssociated Press, NPR, The New York Times, and UPROXX, who called the set the "work of an artist that has looked at herself in the mirror and dared to examine her past.". With its impressive first week sales, the album also debuts at #5 on Billboard’s Current Alternative Chart, #6 on their Current Rock Chart and #18 on the Current Album Chart, a new career high. Meg also lands at #8 on the Emerging Artists Chart, her first appearance on the metric.
‘Take Me To The Disco’ is a raw exploration of the isolation, enamoration and anguish that’s followed the LA-based artist since her youth. In an exclusive interview with UPROXX, Meg talks about how working on ‘Take Me To The Disco’ served as a way to go back and handle many unresolved issues from her past. “Writing [the album], I really thought it was about something,” says Myers. “But listening, it was dead-on about something else, things I went through earlier in my life or in my childhood.”
In their glowing review, The Associated Press called Meg a “genuine rock goddess,” praising her ability to go from “kittenish to face-melting in the same song.” The New York Times called the music “seething and then exploding,” with NPR adding that it’s “powerful and potent.“ White-knuckled lead single “Numb” is also proving a hit, spending eight weeks on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart, currently sitting at #34.
Following a sold-out club tour earlier this summer, Meg will support ‘Take Me To The Disco’ with a nationwide tour kicking off September 15th at Santa Ana’s Observatory. The 21-date run includes stops at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, Nashville’s Mercy Lounge and the iconic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. See below for full tour routing. | ||
