░█ █░ ▀
█ A pub backroom Mogwai, a fistful of hard-drinking █
█ herberts; the best thing to come out of Manor █
█ House since, um, ever. North LondonÆs Teeth of the █
█ Sea are all these things and more. █
█ █
█ Having first come to attention with 2009Æs █
█ Orphaned by the Ocean, the band has displayed a █
█ knack for winning track titles, such as Swear █
█ Blind the AlsatianÆs Melting and Only Fools on █
█ Horse. They also once saw in the New Year █
█ performing the Flash Gordon soundtrack. They are, █
█ genuinely, not like other bands. █
█ █
█ On this their second album, the quartet operates █
█ in the dimension of diametric forms where prog █
█ dynamics meet post-rock and build monstrous █
█ monuments of sound to the dystopian future-fear █
█ out of the subfusc. Your Mercury winningly takes █
█ in elements of shoe-gaze, horror-core wonk-synths, █
█ psychedelic warping and linear new age repetition █
█ to create an escalating unquiet hardcore whole █
█ that dwarfs their contemporaries. This album will █
█ also be cited as reason for several lesser acts to █
█ gnaw their hands off and crumble into dust. █
█ █
█ The almost-title-track YouÆre Mercury is late █
█ Miles Davis duelling with Goblin on a theme to the █
█ sort of garage video nasty thatÆs still yet to be █
█ transferred to DVD; likewise A.C.R.O.N.Y.M., which █
█ channels John Carpenter into thrilling dark metal. █
█ Red Soil builds into a glorious waterboard of █
█ squalling noise, while closer Hovis Coil undulates █
█ like Steve ReichÆs Different Trains to a sudden █
█ stop. Then you go back to the start and play █
█ again, and again. █
█ █
█ Like a giant android kestrel occupying an ominous █
█ telephasic cathedral, Your Mercury soars into a █
█ colossal beast of a record that stands imposingly █
█ above the rest of its field, striking maximum awe █
█ and fear into the weak, while it opens Teeth of █
█ the SeaÆs account with greatness. This is the █
█ start of an odyssey built on crap lager, British █
█ sitcoms and noise rock that looks set to build █
█ menacingly in the future, and one that you would █
█ be daft to ignore. Play very loud. █
