The alternative rock crew known as
Mercury Morning have released their new EP record, “Temple Grey.”
The EP has been proudly published on the band's own eponymous,
independent label without support or adulteration from the corporate
music industry. Comprising four original tracks for an approximate
listening time of 16 minutes, “Temple Grey” represents a roundly
comprehensive treatment of this powerful, pop-charged alt-rock group
from New York City.
Music by Mercury Morning evokes a
colorful and textured range of emotion. It sounds loud no matter how
low the volume on the stereo, achieving a live feel and tone which
pulls the listener into the music and infuses him or her with
adrenaline.
The band cites as musical influences
artists reflecting their respective instruments and characters. These
include Thom Yorke and Chino Moreno, the Cinematic Orchestra and the
Mars Volta, Robert Fripp and Paul Masvidal, Secret Machines and
Frightened Rabbit. While the styles and tones of each are widely
varied of course, the true audiophile will quickly note the
consistent thread of high quality running throughout the list. The
resulting “Temple Grey” EP will come as no surprise to such a
listener.
Asked to describe the overall theme of
their new EP, Mercury Morning write that is revolves around the
concept of equality “in the sense that human frailty is universal
but does not define us.”
Mercury Morning has been an active entity in New York's music scene since 2008. Their present lineup boasts four extremely talented musicians but only one founding member, thus reflecting the natural evolution of a band in the independent rock underground playing steadily at peak performance. They have described NYC, their base of operations, as “the most diverse community of musicians any city could have.”

themselves, it was mixed by Ted Young and mastered by Jessica
Thompson.
