meg elsier Announces 'spittake' Deluxe LP Out July 25 | North American Tour Starts This Week

Today, rising indie-rock force meg elsier announces the deluxe edition of her widely praised debut album, spittake, set for release on July 25 via Bright Antenna Records. The expanded project features 17 tracks in total, including a live recording, never-before-heard demos, and B-sides that offer a deeper, more unfiltered glimpse into the emotional and creative core of one of 2024’s most compelling debut records.

“These B-sides, these demos, this deluxe—it’s a celebration of all the little choices that made ‘spittake’ what it is,” says meg. “It’s a look under the hood. A practice in vulnerability. A lighter grip. I wanted to show how much beauty can exist in the unfinished and imperfect.”

With her signature blend of gauzy shoegaze textures, grungy guitars, and sharp, introspective lyrics, deluxe edition sees meg peeling back the layers and inviting listeners into the messy, uncertain, and deeply human process behind the music. Reflecting on this approach, she explains that “artists and creatives have the ability to seem untouchable—to remain inches off the ground, and honestly that seems safer sometimes. But sometimes it seems like curation to the point of alienation. I wanted to start this off right and honest. That was the intention with ‘spittake.’ It’s the intention with the deluxe. And it’s the intention with the next album.”

The first single from the deluxe edition, "sportscar [scrapped]," arrives June 18. A sleek, emotionally charged indie-pop track with alt-rock undercurrents, the song builds from hushed vulnerability into a bold, driving chorus that mirrors the emotional acceleration suggested in its title.

This summer, meg joins Blondshell on tour starting June 11 in Minneapolis, with stops in Chicago, Columbus, Toronto, and Montreal. She’ll then hit the road with Liz Cooper for shows in Brooklyn, Washington DC, Durham, and Nashville. Tickets are on sale now.
