Mercury Rev
Alternative rock band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1989.
Started as a collective to provide soundtracks for student films the band debuted in the UK as exponents of a psychedelic and experimental breed of indie rock, gradually revealing a more melodic, bittersweet sound. Frontman [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/David+Baker+%282%29]David Baker[/url] left after the second record, Boces and later recorded an album as [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Shady+%283%29]Shady[/url].
It wasn't until 1998 that the band came to mainstream media attention, after further UK touring with their album Deserter's Songs which was given "Best Album Of The Year" award by NME.
