Description
Bobbie Gentrys The Delta Sweete Revisited is Mercury Revs committed and affectionate resurrection of an album that anticipated by three decades their own pivotal expedition through transcendental America, 1998s Deserters Songs.
From their recording lair in New Yorks Catskill Mountains, the founding core of Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper with Jesse Chandler (previously in the Texas group Midlake) honour Gentrys foresight and creative triumph with spacious invention and hallucinatory flair.
Gentrys stories and original resolve are brought to new vocal life and empowerment by a vocal cast from across modern rock and its alternative paths: among them, Mazzy Stars Hope Sandoval; Laetitia Sadier, formerly of Stereolab; Marissa Nadler; Margo Price, the fiery new country star with a punk rock heart; and Norways Susanne Sundfør, who cuts through Tobacco Road with arctic-Nico poise. Phoebe Bridgers, whose first record was a softly stunning 2015 single for Ryan Adams PAX AM label, hovers through the acid-western suspense of Gentrys Jessye Lisabeth with floating calm, like a comforting angel.
180g vinyl format includes digital download coupon.
