Singer-Songwriter Ben Sullivan's debut album "Mercy" listens as though it's a series of short novellas or sudden fictions as much as a musical album.  Each song brings the listener into the detail-rich worlds of the album's many characters, each of whom find themselves in the midst of some personal crisis.  
 
Musically, understated arrangements featuring aching violin runs and tingling keys fill the space around Sullivan's gruff but tender voice.  The organic feel of the record is reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen or Eddie Vedder's acoustic work.
