The Light in You

Mercury Rev

A shimmering, self-produced fairytale of orchestral psych-rock. Breathless vocals and pastoral woodwinds paint a nostalgic, technicolor portrait of New York.

It sounds like a Disney movie directed by a psych-rock band in the middle of a New York autumn.

A shimmering, wide-eyed sense of wonder that feels like a warm embrace on a cold day.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the woodwinds and strings swell into a Disney-esque fanfare during the opening of The Queen of Swans.
The transition into the expansive, six-minute cityscape of Central Park East where the rhythm section grounds the shimmering synths.
The intimate, almost uncomfortably close-mic'd vocal delivery on Amelie that feels like a secret being shared.
