Day-and-night dreamers MERCURY REV – with key members Jonathan Donahue and
Sean “Grasshopper” Mackowiak – revealed details of their 10th LP, their first in 9 years
last June. It’s named Born Horses, and is out on September 6.

The band have cited the late beat poet Robert Creeley
as one of the inspirations while making the album.

Following mellow lead single Patterns and the moony,
partly spoken follow-up, Ancient Love we get a third
preview, titled A BIRD OF NO ADDRESS.

Grasshopper (guitarist/songwriter): “The grounds for hope are in the shadows,
in the people who are inventing the world while no one looks, who themselves don’t
know yet whether they will have any effect.’ For all the birds of no address: Fly on!”

A Bird Of No Address is a starry-eyed musing, a magnific symphony with classical piano play, sensitive orchestrations and Donahue‘s romantic vocals. Bewitching, just bewitching.
