Our Take

Mercury Rev's Snowflake Midnight (Deluxe Edition) is like stumbling into a whimsical, psychedelic wonderland where musical genius meets pure chaos. The album is a delightful rollercoaster of sound, taking listeners on a wild ride through dreamy landscapes and unexpected sonic twists.

From the shimmering synths of "Snowflake in a Hot World" to the haunting vocals of "Senses on Fire," this album is a masterclass in experimental rock. It's as if the band has taken all the rules of conventional music and thrown them out the window, creating a mesmerizing blend of electronic loops, ethereal melodies, and off-kilter rhythms.

But don't be fooled by the album's dreamy exterior – Snowflake Midnight is also a fiercely intelligent record, with thought-provoking lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, and existential dread. It's the kind of album that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time – a true emotional rollercoaster for the senses.

Overall, Snowflake Midnight (Deluxe Edition) is a tour de force of creativity and innovation, showcasing Mercury Rev at their most fearless and inventive. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let yourself be swept away by the sheer magic of this album. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Mercury Rev

Mercury Rev, the elusive indie rock outfit hailing from Buffalo, New York, are nothing short of musical alchemists. With their dreamy, psychedelic soundscapes and whimsical songwriting, they have carved out a unique niche in the alternative music scene. Formed in the late 1980s, Mercury Rev have undergone numerous lineup changes, but core members Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper have remained constant, steering the ship through turbulent waters with their boundless creativity and commitment to pushing boundaries. Their breakthrough album, 1998's "Deserter's Songs," catapulted them into the mainstream, earning critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. Tracks like "Goddess On A Hiway" and "Holes" showcase their ability to blend ethereal melodies with introspective lyrics, creating a sonic tapestry that is both haunting and hypnotic. Despite their success, Mercury Rev have maintained a low profile, eschewing the trappings of fame in favour of artistic integrity. Their live performances are legendary for their sheer unpredictability, with Donahue's ethereal vocals floating above a swirling sea of guitars and keyboards. With a discography that spans over three decades, Mercury Rev continue to defy categorization, blending elements of psychedelia, shoegaze, and folk into a lush sonic landscape that is uniquely their own. In a world where conformity reigns supreme, Mercury Rev stand out as true mavericks, daring to explore the outer reaches of musical expression. And for that, we salute them.
