Mercury Rev – The Light In You

Released in 2015 by Bella Union, The Light In You marked Mercury Rev’s return after a seven-year recording hiatus.

It is their first album made without longtime producer Dave Fridmann, yet it remains deeply rooted in the band’s dreamy, orchestral sound. With lush arrangements, poetic lyrics, and an ethereal production style, the album shines through tracks like “The Queen of Swans” and “Are You Ready?”, blending melancholy and hope with cinematic elegance. A delicate and radiant record, perfect for fans of gentle psychedelia and orchestral pop.
