In spite of its gritty metaphors and its persistent angst, mehro’s new album feels like a love story. In tandem with this sound, mehro’s depiction of romance in “weirdthrob” reveals a dysfunctional love that is reciprocated but not fully expressed. It sees mehro at their most disembodied, addressing a relationship solely in terms of physical desire and lust. The final song “Sepia Tones” sees mehro break from their personal spiral, turning to a place of reflection: “I find in my life / That I’m looking for somеthing to break,” they confess. Mehro’s memorable acoustic sound doesn’t just evolve on “weirdthrob,” it amplifies itself in volume and spirit.
