Something for the Weakened is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band Meursault, released on 16 July 2012 on Song, by Toad Records. Regarding the album, songwriter Neil Pennycook noted, "This album makes more sense to me, and I think I’m more relaxed this time. I can hear it as a body of work, and it resonates more with me than the other records."[10]
Unlike the band's previous two studio albums, Something for the Weakened does not feature any electronica elements, with Pennycook noting that his MacBook broke prior to recording, and that "I think we all wanted to move towards something which had a more human element to it."[11]
