Seattle-based electronic-rock quartet MERCIR's newest release, "Windchimes and Landmines", melds haunting vocals, moody strings, and swathes of synths with complex beats and jagged guitars. With nods to such diverse acts as Air, Gorillaz, and Sigur Ros.
Bio / Background
Somewhere between innovative artists such as Björk and The Postal Service, and the satisfying song work of acts like Doves or Depeche Mode, lies Mercir (mer’-ser), the Seattle-based quartet armed with acoustic guitars, cellos, synthesizers, turntables and samplers. Songs range from creaking acoustic ballads to soaring cinematic pieces. Tablet Magazine describes, “It’s all of the techno-perfection of the new-school Radiohead with very little of the postmodern alienation.”
As Small As the Center, Mercir’s first release (self-released, September 2004), deals with the undulating nature of life, the humility and insecurity of what it means to live in a fast-paced, overly stimulating, self-conscious world. Mercir approached their goal of marrying soulful melodies with organic and electronic soundscapes to create something evocative, heartfelt and original.
