Mercury Rev's Born Horses. A late career classc from a band of American dreamers. They're a band I have been able to take and leave at times but here they've truly pulled out a plum.
Poetic, dreaming and I would say Beatnik at heart. It makes a strong case for being bohemian and becoming a muician rather than letting your heart and soul be isphoned away by getting a dull nine to five and marrying the wrong person at 18.
This gets an astonihingly low 4.5 from Pitchfork, which to the likes of me recommends Born Horses even higher. Snotty, priggish dullards.I think this is a wonderful album.
