“This project might be the most ‘for me’ thing I’ve ever made, because when everything stopped last year I found myself coming back to these songs not as a way to just ‘work’ but to find meaning and keep going,” morgxn explains, “Making this project was more about reminding myself that there is hope in hopelessness—possibility in impossibility, and that when everything falls apart there is purpose in the rubble. How things change, how we change because of it, and how we keep moving—these themes are all present in these songs.”
The EP is the completion to his MERIDIAN series, following MERIDIAN: vol 1 which was released earlier this year. He is currently in the midst of a U.S. tour with Smallpools, as well as will be playing a recently announced string of intimate Sofar Sounds shows in five cities. Complete list of dates below.

MERIDIAN: vol 1 was heavily inspired by a rollercoaster 24-hour period in which morgxn experienced some of his highest highs and lowest lows. Just as the world was going into lockdown due to the pandemic in March 2020, morgxn saw a lifechanging day in which Billie Eilish included morgxn’s single “home” in a list of inspirations behind her Grammy-award winning track “bad guy.”
