meg elsier - spittake (deluxe) (2025) [Hi-Res]

“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.”
