MERCURY REV Yourself is Steam + Car Wash Hair (2025 Reissue)

Popis:

Their 1991 critically acclaimed debut plus their debut CD single, in a 6-panel sleeve. Original artwork of both. Plus, a 30 minute ‘untitled extra’ track on Car Wash Hair CD. Currently touring UK & worldwide to support their new Bella Union album Born Horses / Mercury Rev’s 1991 debut album Yerself is Steam was a critical success, and quickly followed up by the Car Wash Hair single. The releases persuaded the band to perform their very first live gig – then their third gig was on the main stage at Reading Festival and their fourth was supporting Bob Dylan – an auspicious start to their decades-long career. Despite the plaudits resulting in strong sales and regular tours, it was not until their fourth album, Deserter’s Songs that they gained a mainstream audience. The band is currently touring the world in support of their most recent album, Born Horses on Bella Union.

Pitchfork: “a heroic dose of psychedelic rock that is equal parts nerve-wracking and awe-inspiring.” Magnet: “the making of Yerself Is Steam”: https://magnetmagazine.com/2015/08/19/magnet-classics-mercury-revs-yrself-is-steam/
