One of life's great pleasures is falling in love with a band that none of your friends have heard of. Austin, Texas' Meryll is a prime candidate for such a distinction, thanks to its winning combination of chiming guitars and gift-wrapped melodies. The most immediate touchstones — Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie — are entirely familiar, but in a way that reminds you why those bands deserve everything that's come their way. With three years of touring and two artful LPs under its belt, Meryll might become your friends' new favorite band, too.
