SPILL NEW MUSIC: MEGGO – “SYLVIA’S PLACE ;; TRICKS”

MEGGO – “SYLVIA’S PLACE ;; TRICKS”

INDEPENDENT

MEGGO, the creative project of Montreal-based musician and producer Megan Ennenberg, invites listeners into an intimate world with her debut EP, eavesdropper ;; death stories, a masterclass in capturing the raw beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Standout track, “sylvia’s place ;; tricks,” serves as a poignant meditation on love, loss, and presence, blending acoustic roots with experimental soundscapes to create a piece that feels both nostalgic and timeless.

Recorded during a deeply personal period of grief, “sylvia’s place ;; tricks” came to life at the piano in a friend’s home shortly after MEGGO’s beloved dog, Laika, passed away.

eavesdropper ;; death stories is the first in a three-part EP series that MEGGO plans to release throughout 2025, each chapter exploring a different facet of her journey through love, loss, and healing. This debut offering transforms everyday sounds into musical textures, blurring the line between life and art. From the creak of a gate to a friend’s violin experimentations, MEGGO layers field recordings with acoustic and digital elements to craft a deeply immersive, genre-bending soundscape. Inspired by personal losses, the EP serves as a “grief sieve,” filtering profound awareness through its songs.

MEGGO’s artistry is steeped in vulnerability, weaving alternative, indie, and folk influences with an experimental edge. Drawing on the traditions of her Pacific mountain roots and the indie scene of Montreal, MEGGO brings listeners into a space that feels at once intimate and otherworldly.

ARTIST QUOTE

The EP is for Izzy, Bousi, Laika, Elizabeth, Jerry, Jo-Ann, Benson and Dani, who have all passed away in the last few years. Each of them have taught me epic lessons to live by in their lives and in their passing. I myself almost didn’t notice that the EP was forming out of my grief for them, but it had been acting like a sieve for everything else, all the other stuff that wasn’t death. At times, the grief launched me into constant movement where I would travel and go go go and never settle, but slowly I found so much healing in slowing, in noticing small things – like a yawn, or birds, or the rhythm in footsteps, or my roommates violin experimentations in the next room over, or my partner yelling to me “Look Megan, it’s our future home!” as we walked the streets of Manchester – a million little fleeting things.
