Yerself Is Steam

Mercury Rev

A chaotic collision of delicate woodwinds and abrasive guitar noise. This is the sound of a fairytale decaying into a beautiful, feedback-drenched nightmare.

It's like a Disney movie directed by a shoegaze band on a bad trip.

A hallucinatory blend of childlike wonder and terrifying sonic aggression.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden eruption of white-noise guitar that swallows the delicate flute melody in Chasing a Bee
The hypnotic, twelve-minute descent into a murky, repetitive bass groove on Very Sleepy Rivers
The jarring contrast between the frantic punk energy of Syringe Mouth and the surrounding dream-state
