SWEETE DREAMS

MERCURYREV

This year marks 30 years since the birth of Mercury Rev, and across that time they have traversed an eclectic and engulfing terrain of sounds. From earlier explorations in noisy psychedelic eruptions to later craft ing deft, tender and dreamy compositions, they even ended up as unexpected ostensible pop stars in the UK with the huge success of 1998’s Deserter’s Songs, a benchmark album that has retained such a degree of love and potency that 2018 saw them tour the album and play it in its entirety.
