MERCURY REV
Deserter's Songs
2018 U.S. reissue

A perfect album for quiet, chilly Monday afternoon.

An absolute musical masterpiece and one of the finest albums of the #90s .

It’s still the only Mercury Rev album I need. Whenever I hear ANYTHING else by them playing, my immediate thought is “Why isn’t Deserter’s Songs on?”.

When I first bought this on CD in ‘98, it was the first album I had become completely immersed in and obsessed with since Radiohead’s OK COMPUTER, which came out in May of 1997.

For the following 16 months, most everything else I heard came of banal and underwhelming.

Until Deserter’s Songs arrived in September of ‘98.

Just a beautiful, inspirational and timeless sounding record made for a day like I’m having today.

Listening to the #MercuryRev album The Secret Migration for first time in yonks. It's so good! Punch-the-air magnificent, thoroughly enjoyable.

Really looking forward to seeing #MercuryRev on Wednesday at Chinnery’s Southend! A fantastic band to have on our doorstep and in an intimate venue! #TheLightInYou is quite an autumnal album, dreamy and beautiful and somewhat overlooked.

[271] Various artists - Mint Humbucker (CD)

Mint Humbucker was a compilation released in 2001 purportedly to celebrate it’s 11th (!) anniversary but also to flag its shortlived ressurection. Dean Wareham touches a few of the contributions.
