Drawing influence from the likes of Elliott Smith, Modest Mouse, the Velvet Underground, Cat Power, David Bowie and a number of others from a variety of different genres, Merton Lodge plays a uniquely diverse brand of Alternative music.

The project consists of vocals, guitars, keyboard, trumpet, violin and percussion, all written, played and recorded by its sole member, Brandon Blair. It was founded in his home town of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada in early June of 2012.
