"With 'Boces' (the follow-up to their debut masterpiece, 'Yerself Is Steam') Mercury Rev's Dave Fridmann and Jonathan Donahue have proven to be arguably the most creative artists to have emerged on the scene since Mayo Thompson. Beautiful pastoral sounds of the flute merge with sonic collages, fre..."  [+]  Reply

"SOUNDS LIKE A stressed out drunk Australian slurring his grievances It starts with a noisy 30 second eruption, embraces a brief gasp for breath, and then unloads again. A deep roaring bass and slow smash of the drum kit sets the foundation while the vocals and guitars present an unnerving bit of ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the more curiously produced albums of 2025. Just wild and well-written enough to not sound amateurish. Imagination and strong compositions can make up for a lot!"  Reply

"A very good album, you could say surprisingly good. The best tracks are the ones where "Su Tissue" sings. Not that "Vex Billingsgate" is bad as the lead - far from it. But Su's voice/style adds that certain something that makes those tracks half a star better. Unfortunately, if you want anymore t..."  [+]  Reply

"Many artists have refashioned themselves under a pop-dance music mold. The stylistic shift has worked or not to varying degrees. Speaking of just the last 20 years, the first example that comes to mind is the dizzying plummet of liz phair from indie rock grace to major label puppet. That also bri..."  [+]  Reply

""Indigo" is an ethereal experience. Even better than "Nocturne" from 2012. 11 powerful songs perfectly arranged with great sound quality. My favorite tracks are "Letting Go" and "Through Windows"."  Reply
