On two albums released during her tenure in Los Angeles — 20092s "It's Spooky to Be Young" and 20052s "items You Won't Find Elsewhere" — songwriter Meredith Meyer proved adept at airy, dreamy pop confessionals. A year ago, the Oklahoma native forsook L.A. to take up residence in New York, and life in the concrete jungle must be making her restless. Meyer's new song "Target Practice," comes from her new project Young Unknowns , who will release their debut EP in May. The EP was recorded with L.A.-based producer Bill Racine and features Ethan Walter [...]

In the video for the title track to her 2009 album "It's Spooky to Be Young," the Oklahoma-raised, L.A.-based songstress has the grin of the the only person in the room who gets the joke. And maybe she is. Her sneaky-good collection of dreamy pop is the stuff of quieter moments you used to spend with Natalie Merchant or Madder Rose. The video is the work of visual artist Rob Racine , the brother of the album's producer, Bill Racine (Rogue Wave, Phantom Planet, Mates [...]

The album was produced by Bill Racine (Rogue Wave, Mates Of State).The songs on It's Spooky are for the most part mellow affairs. String arrangements and deft programming create an eerie breeze that wafts through the songs. Subtle percussion, like the "Bela Lugosi's Dead" tap on "All Those Pictures" adds
