Merlyn Driver

Merlyn Driver’s new single ‘Cururu’ is a captivating sonic journey, built around the unedited soundscape of South American frogs. Taken from his debut solo album, It Was Also Sometimes Daylight, due October 10th, 2025, Driver continues to blend acoustic folk with the rhythms of the natural world. This raw, intimate meditation on life and nature is a must-listen for fans of ambient and folk music.

Orkney-born musician Merlyn Driver releases “Onto Something” today, the captivating first single from his highly anticipated debut solo album, It Was Also Sometimes Daylight, which is due out on October 10th. The track, accompanied by a video (premiering on KLOF Mag), offers a tantalising glimpse into a record shaped by a unique, nature-immersed upbringing and a deep-seated passion for intercultural musical exploration. It features leading UK fiddle player Owen Spafford.
