A Bird Of No Address

Oh my. Mercury Rev have returned with some songs ahead of a new album, Born Horses, next month. This song is the third so far, and was released two weeks ago, A Bird Of No Address, a song that is both huge and universal while also sounding personal and inward looking. There are sweeping orchestral strings, flourishes of baroque sound, piano and timpani, and Jonathan Donahue's part sung, part whispered, part gasped vocals spinning truths and tales. Magical, spellbinding modern psychedelia.

Lovely isn't it. Another album to add to the list. September's looking expensive.
