love love love this band, but the fan presence on the web seems to be miniscule... even more miniscule than it was about a year ago. and their official site hasn't been updated in ... forever.



anyone know what's up with them?

scratch that... how about... any Mercury Rev fans here?

You know, I keep hearing about this band but I still haven't heard a note of their music. Could you describe their music for me??

rock/orchestral/alternative/psychedelic/dreamy/melancholy/experimental




kind of hard to describe. they get a lot of comparisons to the Flaming Lips (as the lead singer used to be a member of that band), but of the FL stuff i've heard, i'm not sure if the comparison is accurate. though whenever my boyfriend hears that Flaming Lips song that they do a VH1 video-montage to, he thinks of the Rev.




their last 2 are the ones you want to pick up.

Cool group Aaron (my god, is this like, the 1st time w've ever agreed on like, anything? We're bonding! It's a beautiful moment...

Have u heard Sigur Ros yet? I got in2 them about 3 or 4 years ago - my fave band. They play the most beautiful music u could ever wish 2 hear...
CHECK 'EM OUT:
www.sigur-ros.co.uk/media/index.html

(and the lead singer is cute, Gay and gorgeous - so that helps!)

they just did some stuff on Heather Nova's new album, Storm.

I can see some similarities between Sigur Ros and Mercury Rev. Mostly in the vocal styles.

All is Dream is a GREAT GREAT GREAT CD...

Alright. I think I'll check them out.

who, me? oh.


i thought that was more of a question for everyone. well, endorphin74 made a CD for me and i think it had a couple of their songs on it. i liked what i heard, but it didn't stick with me. maybe i'll put it on again.

I have all their releases. Seen them Live 3 times. See You On The Other Side tour, Deserter Songs tour, and All is Dream tour.

oooh! found the answer to my own question

i'm going through and making versions of their last 3 albums with all the b-sides slotted in. love the albums even more this way
