In 1999, Merz released his eponymous debut album,
which gained enough praise for him to be offered a
major label record deal. He turned it down. After
a six year sabbatical from the music industry,
spent working on new material, he returned with
second album "Loveheart". Critically well
received, of more importance to Merz, real name
Conrad Lambert, was doing it in the way that was
right for him. Turning down that record deal lead
to a period in which he returned to signing on in
his home town - the resulting album was as honest
and well realised as they come.
Third album "Moi Et Mon Camion" continues in that
way. Opening track "The Eviction Song" starts with
the sound of a removal van driving away - echoing
Merz's own experiences during the making of the
album, finding it impossible to settle in one
place. Musically, this is also a theme throughout
the album. Genre-wise, "Moi et Mon Camion" has no
real fixed abode, and yet wherever Merz travels
musically, it sounds and feels like his home.
