Description
In upstate New York, between the Catskills mountains and the Hudson Valley, a captivating sound emerges, flowing like the local Esopus Creek or in the wake of the Hudson River, carrying our hopes, dreams, and fears. This sound combines organic and electronic elements, featuring guitars, keys, brass, strings, woodwind, drums, and an incantatory voice that taps into streams of consciousness. Mercury Rev's ninth album, Born Horses, is a unique blend of psych - jazz, folk, baroque, and ambient music. It springs from the area between the homes of founder members Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper, and is influenced by new member Marion Genser, long - term ally Jesse Chandler, and guests. It builds on the mood of their 2019 album, pays tribute to avant - garde artist Tony Conrad and Beat poet Robert Creeley, and starts with skeletal chords and self - reflection about time and reality.
To enjoy this Born Horses vinyl LP, simply place it on a record player. Make sure the player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, store the record in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality over time.
