southern records

Recorded by Andy Baker (Macha, Causey Way, Mendoza Line) in Athens Georgia, this record clearly shows the band's progression as songwriters and musicians. Less minimal (more complex?) than their debut release due to the expanded instrumentation, The Mercury Program successfully weave jazz-induced drums with rhythmic basslines and off-time guitars. Quiet, spoken vocals add to the mix and create a truly compelling record.
