The Mercury Program - A Data Learn The Language (2002)

After 5 long years of no new stuff, the Gainsville, Florida quartet will release their new album this spring on Lovitt records (Engine motherfuckin Down, Pygmy Lush). Just jizzed my pants over that wonderful thought of a new mercury program album.

If you're getting tired of the crescendocore aspects of post-rock (explosions in the sky, caspian, this will destroy you), get ready to be refreshed and hypnotized with The Mercury Program. Dave Lebleu is one of the best drummers in the sceneright now (imo). He can be all over the place without being too in your face sort-a-kinda way. This is perfect headphone music, travelling music, reading that new script you've got from the internet, or staring blankly at the ceiling in an emo kind of way. Anyways, grab it at the bottom. Ciao!

RIYL: Maserati, Trizteza, Pele
