Mercury Rev Unveils Two New Albums

American rock group Mercury Rev unveils two new studio albums, Snowflake Midnight and Strange Attractor, both to be release on September 29.

Snowflake Midnight is a set of nine self-luminous, astonishing new songs from the band which will be available in physical CD format. However, the companion Strange Attractor is an 11-track album which will be given as a free MP3 download.

The first thing that came across our minds, "marketing strategy". Instead of compiling them into a double-disc album, which most bands apply, they took this step to release two separate albums on the same date. Well, let's not highlight the fact that Strange Attractor will be a bigger catch to Rev's fans, it seems like we have a winner of the month here - the most generous one.


First single is Sense of Fire. The EP featured remix versions by Fujiya & Miyagi and James Holden. (check out their MySpace to listen to it while you still can)
