Guest Interview w/ Sans Merit: 13 May 2026

Elle spoke to Sans Merit the solo project of Australian born, LA based Griffin James. They spoke about his sophomore release Trolley Polly, a considered follow up to his debut, Early Grave.

A transformative album that explores the extremities of neofolk, shoegaze and restless post-punk. Intricately vulnerable lyrics weave through the record accompanying James’hazy melodies. The album is, dare I say, brilliant.

You can find Trolley Polly on BandCamp!
