Piano-based indie rock trio from NYC that is mature and melodic but explosive right when it needs to be.
12 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, ROCK: Americana
Details:
Mercer formed in New York in the summer of 2005 and began writing material at an aggressive pace. Armed with the mission of taking the piano to a new place in indie/rock music, Mercer pushed itself to create an edgy and complex sound not often heard in a piano-based band. Combining the melodic forces of Coldplay and Keane with the rhythmic intensity of the Mars Volta, the band continues to explore new sounds and ideas with each new song. The stripped-down, 3-piece band relies on equal contributions from all members, and the wealth of ideas brought forth results in songs that highlight individual abilities while remaining true to the song as a whole. Consisting of only a piano, an electric guitar, drums, and vocals, the band manages to create a thick, layered sound that is greater than the sum of all the parts.
After playing weekend gigs in staple NYC venues such as the Mercury Lounge, the Living Room, and the Cutting Room, the band entered the recording studio in March 2006 with veteran producer/multi-instrumentalist Jimi Zhivago and engineer Pete DeBoer. The goal was to create an album that captured the essence of the live 3-piece performance but allowed the band to fill in the missing pieces and craft the songs the way they were meant to sound. A remote horse farm-turned-recording studio in North Brookfield, MA called Long View served as the location for this transformation. Free from the normal distractions of life in the city, the band was able to work with Jimi to find the best ideas and arrangements for each song. With access to top-of-the-line vintage gear, the sounds on the album stood out and allowed the songs to begin to take on a timeless feel. As the sessions went on and the songs took form, the members of the band played as though they truly believed they were a part of something special. After two weeks of tracking, the band emerged with 12 tracks that captured the creative vibe of the sessions and summed up 7 months of hard work to get to that point.
Mercer's debut album Hourglass was self-release on October 14th, 2006. The album was mixed at The Magic Shop, NYC and mastered by Joe Gastwirt at Joe Gastwirt Mastering.
