Bio / Background
Somewhere between innovative artists such as Björk and Massive Attack, and the satisfying song work of guitar acts like Doves or Flaming Lips, lies Mercir (mer'-ser). The Seattle-based band began with two songwriters armed with an acoustic guitar, a synthesizer, and a PowerBook. Now a trio - including turntables and samples -- Mercir are taking their place amongst the experimental songwriters. Incidental witnesses to the Seattle scene, Mercir inevitably employ the honesty and ache you would expect, but the delivery is quite far from the garage; nearly every song began on the acoustic guitar and was recorded in their basement apartment. Songs range from creaking acoustic ballads to soaring atmospheric pieces suitable for film. As described by Tablet Newspaper, "It's all of the techno-perfection of the new-school Radiohead with very little of the postmodern alienation."
While Mercir is a new band, in and of itself, all three respective members have been producing for some time.
