Mercury Rev - Born Horses (2024)
Born Horses marks Mercury Rev's return after a nine-year hiatus, presenting a bold evolution in their sound. The album features Jonathan Donahue's transition to a deeper, spoken-word vocal style, set against lush, jazz-infused arrangements. Tracks like "Mood Swings" and "Ancient Love" showcase this new direction, blending cinematic soundscapes with poetic lyricism. While some critics appreciate the band's adventurous approach, others feel the album lacks the imaginative depth of their earlier work. Overall, Born Horses offers a unique listening experience that may resonate differently among fans and newcomers alike.
