Mercury Rev

Twenty years on from its release, acclaimed New York outfit Mercury Rev revisit the classic Deserter’s Songs, an ambitious album which signalled their commercial and creative breakthrough from chaotic motley psychedelic rock crew to masterful chamber pop ensemble, influencing their own musical direction as well as a wider movement towards romantic, widescreen composition among their US indie rock peers.
