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.
