Mercury Rev – Deserters Songs – Smoke Marble Color Vinyl Record

Description

Cementing Mercury Rev’s delightful rebirth, Deserter’s Songs shines as a cosmic gem in the popular American songbook. This album beautifully blends jazz, folk, sweeping orchestration, and a sprinkle of 60’s rock, crafted with a spirit of joyful abandon, as it was originally meant to be the band’s farewell. Instead, it blossomed into their most celebrated work, earning its place as a must-have record of the last 30 years. Released to widespread acclaim, Deserter’s Songs was honored as the album of the year in 1998 by NME, MOJO, and several other esteemed publications, quickly bringing these legendary artists into homes around the globe while paving the way for a new genre of music that we still enjoy today through bands like Arcade Fire and Beirut.
