Mercury Rev have released a new single, ‘Ancient Love’. It’s taken from their upcoming release “Born Horses”, the band’s first new album of original material in nine years. Check out the six-minute track below.
“What we are today comes from our thoughts and perceptions of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life for tomorrow,” the band shared in a statement about the new song. “Our life is the creation of our mind which originates from ancient love.”
“Since our beginning in the mid 80’s with David Baker through to the recording of “Born Horses” with new permanent members, Woodstock native (pianist) Jesse Chandler and Austrian born (keyboardist) Marion Genser,
“When I opened my voice to sing on this record, this was the bird that sang: a lower, whiskery voice, which surprised me as much as it may others. I don’t know where the bird came from, but it’s there now, and I don’t question it. It’s just the bird that wants to sing.” – Jonathan
“Born Horses” arrives September 6th via Bella Union Records.
