On their first album in seven years, Mercury Rev chart a gradual, linear journey from darkness to light, with the first half featuring the weightiest, most affecting songs the band has produced since 2001’s (vastly underrated) All Is Dream. As the album goes on, they enter some of the most bizarre territory of their career.

Seven years since the rather cold and introspective 'Snowflake Midnight', Mercury Rev are back with a more jolly prospect. In style it's more
