#2073 Mercury Rev - Yerself is Steam

A great, fearless slice of golden age indie/underground, packed with buzz and fuzz and hiss and noise and unexpected swerves. It gives you that rush that there is newness possible in rock, that everyone has something nasty and beautiful and strange waiting to pour out through an amp or three.

It's messy, lo-fi, unexpected and unpredictable, but so lively and sincere and rushing headlong that you forgive the mess it leaves in its wake 4/5
