Default Mercury Rev - What do you think?

What do you think of Mercury Rev and have you heard the single Across Yer Ocean?

Who does the singer remind you of? I'm reviewing it but I cant think who he sounds like.

Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. They also share a producer.

Yeah, the album's not bad at all. I'll away listen to it now again, "Secret for a Song" is the most memorable...

I still think their best period was at the start of their career with the Car Wash Hair EP and Yerself is Steam record. Was it David Baker who was the other singer who left? What amazing lyrics. Chasing a Bee and Frittering are amazing.

I really liked Deserter's Songs. It sounded very fragile and natural.

Not so keen on the newer stuff.

they sound like the flaming lips lite, music for people who cant handle the lips. i saw them years ago when the fat gadge was singing for them- at the music hall where they were totally creamed by a murderously on top of their game spiritualized.
