At first listen of Mercurine’s WAITING FOR ANOTHER FALL, I hated this band. On second listen, I couldn’t believe I was hearing the same band. Now I wish I could remember why I thought they were so awful. There are two great words to describe this album: trippy and relaxing. The songs are all very slow and there’s a lot of whispering going on in the background of most tracks. The album is one that is great to chill or zone out to, but if you’re not in that mood then it’s a good idea to give it another shot when you’re feeling a little more relaxed. There are a lot of different voices going on behind the music, but even while really focusing, it’s hard to make out the whispering. Waiting has some techno qualities, but not the annoying repetitive techno that plays the same beats for 20 minutes. It’s difficult to tell if the lead singer is male or female, and sometimes difficult to make out what he or she is singing, but here, that doesn’t really matter, the tunes speak for themselves. –Andrea Aycock
