SONG OF THE DAY [#344]

'snowflake in a hot world' | mercury rev

mercury rev is another one of those bands that should be more well-known and appreciated than they are. it's a mystery why they aren't. maybe they're one of those rare bands that are simply too good, too creative, too inventive. but then again, i'm not really sure that's it because they're often mentioned in the same breath as the flaming lips [probably because both bands have worked with dave fridmann. fridmann's not only produced some of their stuff, he also played bass for the band], but they don't get near the pub the lips get. so, yeah, i don't really have a theory as to why they aren't more popular. i just wish they were 'cos they are a mighty and awesome.

the band's new one, 'snowflake midnight,' hits stores 9/29. it's another terrific album in a series of terrific albums. in fact, i think it's a step up from 'the secret migration.'  be sure to check it out.
