Mercy Girl

Mercy Girl is sensory euphoria and contemplation.
Formed in 2024 by members Daisy Miles, Davey Purdie, Craig Harkness
and Kylie MacNaughton, the Glasgow based electronic outfit explore
themes of love, despair and the uncertainty of the human experience.
Taking inspiration from EBM, Darkwave and Electro-Pop, Mercy Girl
invokes both the solace of a dark empty highway, and the surrender of a
neon-hazed dancefloor.
Since launching in November 2024, the band have amassed a global
audience and a cult online following. Having their music regularly played
at, and being used to promote dark scene club nights everywhere from
Los Angeles to Berlin.
The band sold out their debut headline show in The Hug and Pint in
Glasgow and have shared the stage with Justin Warfield (She Wants
Revenge) at a sold out Oslo in Hackney, London. Their latest single ‘No
Sound’ was featured as Track of the Week on BBC 6 Music, alongside
strong support from BBC Introducing Scotland with an Artist of the Week
full feature.

“This jawdropping debut self-produced and engineered single from the
Glasgow-based electro outfit is an earthshattering slice of icily gothic and
dense synthpop married to stark, alien hushed vocals like lost cave
sounds. Put simply, it is like a lost addictive classic from Crystal Castles,
or Chvrches after being forced to watch The Exorcist ten times.” –

“It’s deeply reflective, it’s meditative but still pulsing and driving. Their
sound is so uniquely placed between rock and electronic. I really think
that this band are gonna be an absolute household name” – Phoebe I-H,
BBC Introducing Mixtape on BBC 6 Music, Track of the Week, 9th June
2025

——

“Hauntingly moody and sensuously atmospheric, yet simultaneously
uplifting, cloaked in a hazed dark veil of introspective desolation, the
track unleashes relentless quick throbbing, droning bass loops, slashed
through by an urgent pounding drum programming, injecting gloomy
shadows into a sadly sinister environment, lit by glowing synths, to
orchestrate a swirling aching drama atop pain-filled sultry vocals,
changing to rapid edgy spoken words, amid ebbs and flows of echoey
dissociation.” – Track of the Day, White Light White Heat, Feb 2025
