French Catacombs

From Mercury Machine's latest EP Ascend https://mercurymachine.bandcamp.com/album/ascend-e-p

Ascend

This Calling

The track is a  collaboration with the acclaimed musician/producer Joe Cross of 'The Courteeners' on production, alongside a Grammy-nominated, gold, and multi-platinum record mastermind overseeing the mastering. Brace yourself for an electrifying sonic experience like no other!

'Second life' is about the unfairness of being born into a bad situation whatever that may be, but then trying with every ounce of your soul to escape with the help of technology. There are also images linking to rebirth and renewal in the song, hence the reflected tree image in the artwork.

Second Life (Radio Edit)

Fictional Mind (2016 Remaster)

Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.

This Is Our Time

Nouvel Horizon

"...Mercury Machine celebrate the 1980s influences in their music. Their website cites Joy Division, Depeche Mode and The Cure as pivotal touchstones in the band’s evolution, and whilst their traces are evident, it is truly in the early recordings of Simple Minds and Ultravox, with their electronic underpinnings alongside guitar-driven high drama that Mercury Machine’s real provenance lies. They are a four-piece hailing from Manchester (you can hear that town’s famous swagger in there too)..."

"…the best soundtrack to a sexy ‘80s vampire movie that never got made…"

"...Depeche Mode on crack!..."

Mercury Machine are  Lee Maguire (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Burge (lead guitar), Gav Foley (drums), Carl Street (bass) and Kade Daniels (keyboard).
