Taken from the new album 'The Light In You' released on 2nd October 2015. Pre-order your copy here... LP - hyperurl.co/Lig... CD - hyperurl.co/Lig... DL - hyperurl.co/Lig...
i had no idea there was a brand new album, haven't kept up with them the past several years as they really took a dive in the mid-00s. Deserter's Songs and All is Dream are fantastic.
Interesting. I find The Secret Migration and Snowflake Midnight to be incredible. I guess the band hits people in different ways! Unfortunately, I am not as moved by their latest album. This track is great, but the rest is... well, a bit so-so for me.
jayne whitman nailed it. I guess I cant see inside this girls soul enough to see what she is needing in this video, but..... love the song. #somebodysdaughter
The world feeds on positive vibes my friend. I totally agree that I saw nothing in that video, and your read into it was pretty truthful. They've always done a great job and just need positive reviews and feedback on this release. Take it easy and enjoy life my friend!
This is what happens when you let computers write your songs. I literally don't get the melodic/chord structure AT ALL. It makes zero sense to my ears. It's like they've spliced elements of different songs together with no regard as to whether they actually fit - just bunged them together and chopped them up so they're roughly in the same BPM and vaguely in the same key. It's a horrible listen. Grating and forced, nothing natural about it. The drums are quantized to within an inch of their life (if they were even real in the first place - they sound total programmed to me, and not particularly tastefully at that). Horrible production and really fucking weak songwriting. What happened, guys?? Deserter's Songs seems a lifetime ago and another world away from this plop.
So proud of my cousin. He plays bass for MR.
Thanks. It is. :)
+Jay Ay Anthony is a great bassist, great producer and a great person!
Thanks. He really is a great guy.
That's awesome!
Just heard this tune! Shocked it’s 5 yrs old. BBC radio 6 bought me to its attention 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks to Bella Union for giving Mercury Rev's music a lifeline that it deserves!
I don't understand some of the negative comments...This track is classic Rev, and the new album is wonderful!
OK. So some modern music is excellent. (From an old hippie)
I'll never stop listening to this. Thanks for the upload.
Saw these last week at the Sage in Gateshead. They were Awesome!
Love it. Heard it on WXPN.
The video's like the opening credits of a James Bond Bond film. And that's always fun.
Glad to hear Mercury Rev again.
+MM Garrett I want to dance to The Rascals.
You want to dance to The Pretty Things.
this is awesome .... swathes of lovliness
always ready to listen etwas sehr gut.
Welcome back Mercury Rev .
Amazing! I love this song
A celebration of sound!
What a tune!
My favorite band!!

+William Rust My comment was deleted.. can't believe it. Must have touched a nerve. Not sure I'm liking this new MR much.

Hard to believe this is the product of the same minds that created Deserters Songs. Time to call it a day, lads.
Mercury Rev *used* to be one of my favorite bands. They should have stayed in oblivion.
+Curbed Countess Amen to that. They're an embarrassment.
production completely overpowering a very thin song
seriously?
Im afraid its a very average album.
+Anthony Langford no anthony, it's just the continuation of the "Secret Migration" era of Mercury Rev and its a good development
This is embarrassingly, excruciatingly bad. Mercury Rev are now officially HAS-BEENS.
