NZ trio Mermaidens' special 7" split single vinyl, You Maintain the Stain / Cut It Open on Flying Nun Records.

Recorded before going into the studio to track their second album (out later this year) and released to coincide with their May UK and Europe tour.

'You Maintain the Stain' and 'Cut It Open' set a strong tone for what is to come. Mermaidens are in new terrain; exploring power and control in a confronting lens.

They're looking at the gatekeepers and dominators of the world, dissecting their power one song at a time.
