Montreal’s MEGGO Unveils Raw, Soulful Single “brooklyn pt. 1” Ahead of Debut ‘eavesdropper ;; death stories {chapter1}’ EP Out January 2025
MEGGO, the creative project of Montreal-based musician and producer Megan Ennenberg, presents her latest single, “brooklyn pt. 1,” a track that captures both the spirit of New York and the artist’s unique sound – fusing atmospheric layers with raw, acoustic textures. Known for her work with FLEECE and now venturing into an intensely personal soundscape, MEGGO blends indie-folk, jazz, and field recordings, bringing her listeners into a world of delicate observations and heartfelt introspection.
Recorded through an iPhone voice memo on a Brooklyn rooftop, “brooklyn pt. 1” is infused with intimate, found sounds: the murmur of a crowded bar, the intricate chords of a jazz musician, the hum of a busy street. These elements create a textured, nostalgic feel that MEGGO describes as “cathartic as hell.” The track is taken from her forthcoming eavesdropper ;; death stories {chapter1} EP which is set for release in January 2025.
I like naming songs after where most of the collected sounds come from; Brooklyn, New York, where this track was born, feels like its own character in the song. “pt. 1” hints there’s more to the journey – a story that unfolds with time. It’s been a long journey of experimentation. At the end, you’ll hear a raw moment of me working through the song in real time – a reminder that the creative process isn’t always polished. It’s exciting to me to release a song that has an obvious mistake in it. I want people to ask themselves “Why does hearing someone make a mistake make me uncomfortable?” MEGGO is about taking risks and being real, and sharing what that looks like. – MEGGO

The middle of it
Through her use of raw, analogue-inspired production, MEGGO’s music embraces imperfection, free from pitch correction or heavy digital effects. Her work channels her Pacific mountain roots and indie influences from Montreal, embodying a genre-defying sound that feels intimate, authentic, and deeply emotive.
“brooklyn pt. 1” and the upcoming eavesdropper ;; death stories {chapter1} EP honour life’s brief, beautiful moments, inviting listeners to share in the rare intimacy of sounds captured as they surfaced and songs recorded as they’re being written. MEGGO hopes her work will encourage listeners to embrace the quiet details, tune into the music woven into their everyday surroundings and find beauty in life’s inherent impermanence.
