Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1989, Mercury Rev quick grew to become leading figures in left field alternative rock. Earlier albums veered towards experimental, off-kilter psychedelia but by the end of the decade, the band had developed their own brand of serene, piano-based Americana with the acclaimed, best-selling LP Deserter’s Songs (1998).
Originally issued in January 2005, The Secret Migration was the sixth album by Mercury Rev and followed All Is Dream (2001) – which has already been reissued as a deluxe edition and more recently a double vinyl set by Cherry Red. In the UK, where the band were signed to V2, the album spawned two singles, In A Funny Way and Across Yer Ocean.
First-ever reissue on vinyl – and with the added bonus of a second disc. Joining the original album are various B-sides and originally unissued out-takes. Among the bonus are cover versions of Bobby Charles’ Bearsville gem Tennessee Blues; Afraid, originally by Chicago rock band Dovetail Joint; two Paul Westerberg songs, The Replacements’ Androgynous and his solo effort Good Day; Daniel Johnston’s Blue Clouds; and I Never Had It So Good by Paul Williams.
