| Blackout Beach is the solo vehicle for Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes, Blue Pine, Swan Lake). Like his work with Frog Eyes, his Blackout Beach recordings dwell in a land all their own, with Mercer's unique vocal and lyrical approach very much at the forefront. A fourteen-part song cycle, Light Flows The Putrid Dawn finds Mercer in rare form; imagine Don Van Vliet's version of The Marble Index and you're traveling down the right path. His intense, miniature epics slowly build, swell and expand to the brink of collapse. Contains a retooled version of "Meadows and Madames" from Frog Eyes' Emboldened Navigator EP. | |||||||
