Description
Fully cementing Mercury Revs rebirth as purveyors of a cosmic brand of the popular American songbook, Deserters Songs is an album of grandiose proportions. Merging jazz, folk, sweeping orchestration, and a dose of 60s rock, the album was intended as the bands swan song and therefore made with utter abandon.
However, it became the bands most acclaimed platter and remains one of the essential records of the past 30 years. Deserters Songs was released to huge worldwide acclaim and went on to be named album of the year in 1998 by NME, MOJO and many other publications, quickly propelling the legendary iconoclasts into living rooms worldwide and pioneered the launch of a new genre of music, heard today in bands like Arcade Fire and Beirut. Available on vinyl once again on the bands own imprint Excelsior Melodies.
