RISING ARTIST MEHRO TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM WEIRD THROB ON SEPTEMBER 9

weirdthrob, the forthcoming album from rising artist mehro, is set for release on September 9. Consisting of 9 tracks, the project channels raw emotion through layers of distortion, heightened tension and a visceral, unfiltered approach to songwriting and production. The album pushes discomfort to the surface, using abrasive textures and volume not just as aesthetics, but as emotional tools.

In conjunction, mehro premieres their murky track “sepia tones”. The new song delivers a raw, lo-fi punch with snarling distorted guitar and a stripped-down, DIY production that feels urgent, chaotic, and intensely immediate.

Of the song, mehro recalls, “‘sepia tones’ was written in the back alley of the regent theatre in Downtown Los Angeles about 1 hour before I stepped on stage for an Elliott Smith tribute concert on August 6th, 2024. The song came pouring out, like dirty water from a rusty pipe. There is no doubt in my mind that that night, with more than a thousand people gathered to celebrate the artist’s life, I experienced something necromantic. It resonated so deeply with me, that it felt like a gift. My hope is it resonates with those that it is meant to.”

Fans can also listen to their previously released album tracks “lady parts and mannequins”, “you’re so pretty” and “lifesaver”. The new music received early praise from the likes of FLAUNT who proclaimed, “mehro is reshaping the music scene with their raw talent and unapologetic style. From their breakout debut ‘perfume’ to their latest singles, mehro delivers powerful, genre-defying tracks that captivate audiences.” 

In addition, mehro is set to take their lauded live show back on the road this fall for an extensive run of worldwide dates. Kicking off August 30, the Weirdthrob World Tour features shows at Los Angeles’ Teragram Ballroom, New York’s Racket, Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, San Francisco’s The Independent, Atlanta’s The Masquerade and more. On top of that, mehro’s global run includes additional headline shows in London, Manchester, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Prague and many more iconic cities. Tickets are available for purchase now at mehromusic.com while full tour routing can be found below. 

Enveloped in music from childhood, mehro initially resisted a career as a musician. That changed when the then-teenager watched the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line. Inspired, they picked up a guitar that night and began learning “Folsom Prison Blues,” eventually beginning to write their own music. Since arriving with their debut single “perfume” in 2020, the singer-songwriter immediately caused ripples. The stripped-back love song has since garnered more than 79 million streams on Spotify while their powerful track “chance with you” has accumulated over 112 million Spotify streams.

Last year, mehro released their thematically raw new record trauma lullabies on their mother’s birthday, which continues to receive praise; PAPER Magazine proclaims, “mehro’s moody melodies linger… [Their] music is confessional and tender, songs that tap into love, despair and everything in between,” while Ones To Watch furthers, “trauma lullabies’ nostalgic yet immediately inviting soundscapes supplement lyrics that take listeners through a layered emotional journey.” 

Spring of 2022 saw mehro perform on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and garnered further praise from the likes of NPR’s All Songs Considered, American Songwriter, FLOOD Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Under The Radar, Cero Magazine, Vestal Magazine and more. Most recently, mehro was named a 2025 “Artists To Watch” by Grammy.com and currently has 30x weekly spins on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation.
