Snowflake Midnight
Snowflake Midnight is the seventh studio album from Mercury Rev. It was released on September 29, 2008 in the UK, and September 30 in the US[1], but was leaked to many file-sharing Torrent websites as early as July 17. The album’s release coincides with tour dates in the UK and Europe, which can be found listed on the band’s MySpace page link.
From the band’s website:
| “ | On September 29, 2008, MERCURY REV will release their seventh studio album, SNOWFLAKE MIDNIGHT, a set of nine self-luminous and astonishing new songs. Zooming in at any part of SNOWFLAKE MIDNIGHT, at nearly any conceivable magnification, always reveals the forces of symmetry and chaos at play, shimmering, vibrating close-ups and vistas of life driving itself onward, bursting with patterns and mandala-like forms pushed to the brink of incredible pressures then lost in an instant… blown apart by their own majestic desire to share themselves, spirals of new momentum inter-twingling with the vastness of limitless new creation… The entire album sequence appears to be a resplendent fractal, folding in upon itself, into something continually new, unpredictable and spontaneous, and yet, paradoxically at times so subtly self-aware, never failing to resemble itself in the whole… | ” |
The album was Album of the Week at ClashMusic.com on its week of release.
Made available on the same day from the band’s website is the “companion” album Strange Attractor. This eleven-track instrumental album was given away free as an MP3 download.
