I’ve never been totally won over by Carey Mercer. I’m not a big fan of Frog Eyes, and his songs were my third least favourite part about Swan Lake (behind the band name and the production style on Beast Moans).
His latest album as Blackout Beach intrigues me, however. First off, it’s got an amazing title: Fuck Death. And then there’s the single, “Beautiful Burning Desire,” which has some appealingly weird-ass atmospheric synths. It’s a good track, although I’ve got to admit that my favourite parts are the dreamy instrumental sections, as opposed to the bits where the emphasis fall on Mercer’s hiccupy vocals.
