Portland

Oregon’s headlining gothic shoegaze and art music trio Mercury’s Antennae finish their run for 2025 with The Veil Opaque Volume 2. The four track maxi-single follows from their spine-tingling Among the Black Trees LP which proceeded The Reflecting Skin single we featured last winter. Putting bright yellow marker beneath the strengths of each member, Erick r Scheid provides a haunting 12-string guitar against the sombre rumble of bass by Cindy Coulter. Dru Allen, as always, gives the performance of our dreams with defiantly good vocals and lyricism. The track is described as the veil being lifted, and our vision becoming clear. A sound experiment that evolved into a sound of music, Mercury’s Antennae present The Veil Opaque Volume 2.

Sunny electronica opens the score with a frontage of glimmering spectral sound. Drums crunch through with a muffled sense of gothic charm. Bass then joins the flow as a swish of feeling draws open like a curtain. Guitar sends its transmission, high chorus and reverb mutate the strings into a soul combing caress through feeling and dream. Ghostly, beautiful, and spellbinding, the song moves on in human prowess as the vocal sinks in with density and plump edges. It feels like twilight and the starlings are murmurating gently in the frantic colours of distant dusk.
