On September 6, 2024, Mercury Rev will release their highly anticipated album, Born Horses, through Bella Union. This marks the band's first full-length project in nine years, following their 2015 album, The Light in You. The new record has already caught the attention of fans and critics alike, with Louder Than War declaring it 'Album of the Week'. The band describes Born Horses as a 'cascade of gleaming, glistening psych-jazz-folk-baroque-ambient' music that explores deep introspective themes, including time and reality. Jonathan Donahue, the band's lead vocalist, has infused his performance on this album with a spoken word style, offering listeners a fresh perspective on their longstanding sound. The title track, "Born Horses," serves as a cornerstone for the album, encapsulating key motifs that resonate throughout the record, such as flight and duality of self. Other notable tracks include "Mood Swings," which features dark jazz elements and serves as an atmospheric opening, and "Patterns," which pays homage to influential figures like Ian Curtis and Jackson Pollock. With rich arrangements and a cinematic quality, Born Horses promises to push boundaries while remaining true to Mercury Rev's distinct musical identity. Pre-orders for the album are currently available through Sister Ray, and it's accessible in vinyl, CD, and digital formats.
