MEGGO is the passion project of Montreal-based musician and producer Megan Ennenberg. Drawing on the traditions of her Pacific mountain roots as well as the lively indie music scene of Montreal, MEGGO brings listeners into a space that feels both intimate and unfamiliar. With her debut EP "eavesdropper ;; death stories" she gives her fans a collection of songs that mesh an acoustic-folk sensibility with a natural talent for experimental dynamics and creative exploration. Her latest single "sylvia's place ;; tricks" is personal, it is vulnerable, and above all, it flows with an impressive range of emotion. From a lonely, stripped-down piano accompaniment, all the way to a controlled ecstasy of delicate chamber pop, MEGGO delivers a sonic experience that is deeply precise, yet somehow also completely free.

This gorgeous track came about as a impassioned response to the passing of a beloved friend and pet, and serves as a worthy example of the lasting bond that can exist between human and animal.

I wrote this song right after we had to put Laika down. She was the best little friend– came to every band practice, was such an epic buddy, and taught me so many tricks; how loving, and loving well, feeds us; how innately we understand and respond viscerally to love; how it helps us be healthy. I hardly play the piano, but I sat down at one at my friend Sylvia’s place and wrote, and the tune opens with the moment I found the melody. The track is full of sounds from a goodbye party we threw for her, with friends laughing and crying and jamming, sometimes all three at once, with Laika right in the middle eating spaghetti smothered in bacon fat, seeming quite content and completely oblivious. That raw real visual is the heart of this song, and the EP as a whole – it’s about being present enough to notice fleeting moments, about holding sadness and joy in the same breath.
