The Mercury Program

From the Vapor of Gasoline

Tigerstyle

Offbeat heartbeat rhythms balance against my pulse. Post jazz poetic discord for melodic math rock enthusiasts. Sleepy, almost spoken vocals slide through the underground bass lines, edge of ache drums, and shatter glass but ocean smooth guitars. Touches of bands like June of 44 slip through the mix, but the Mercury Program have their own show to perform, and they shine like whispers in the still of night. Moving from steady rolling ocean to endless stretch highway drive, never leaving you behind, just sometimes leading you back home… or wherever you want to go.
