Mercury Rev

Any good ? Never bothered with them before but heard a song the other day and it sounded rather good.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

I've got Deserter's Songs, very good album

 

[homer]

Early stuff is truly stunning ('Yerself is Steam' and 'Boces')

Later stuff bit more poppy and melodic ('Deserters Songs' 'All is Steam' and 'Secret Migration')

Highly recommended (and yes, I know that means nothing to you, HF)

Do they sound like anybody or of a similar genre to anybody?

Early stuff is a bit psychedelic indie/arty stuff - can't say I know of much that's similar to be honest

Later stuff is also a bit unique

All sort of Syd Barrett meets the Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground....

I think they released a compilation thing last year covering most of their albums

 

[homer]

It's called 'Stillness Breathes'
