{"product_id":"mrcy-volume-1","title":"Mrcy- Volume 1 ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eMRCY are producer Barney Lister and vocalist Kojo Degraft-Johnson.\r\nHailing from different ends of England and disparate cultures, theirs\r\nis a space of soulful self-expression that combines the timeless\r\nmusical warmth and social consciousness of Marvin Gaye with the\r\ngenre-melding, modern sensibility of Anderson.Paak and SAULT.\r\n\"It's like hearing a distant memory,\" Barney says. \"But one that\r\nspeaks to where you are now.\"\r\nMRCY first connected over Instagram in the pandemic before\r\nmeeting up IRL in Brixton, where they immediately found common\r\nground in their time spent hustling behind the scenes. Hailing from\r\nHuddersfield's thriving soundsystem culture, Barney has established\r\nhimself as one of the UK's most in-demand producers, with\r\ncollaborations ranging from Ivor-Award-winning work with\r\nObongjayar to Mercury-nominated records with Joy Crookes and\r\nOlivia Dean. South London-raised Kojo, meanwhile, earned his\r\nstripes in church as well as singing with equally-illustrious\r\nhomegrown artists like Cleo Sol and Little Simz. MRCY's music\r\nreverberates with individual perspectives, but also reminds how\r\nthose common experiences of graft, grit and abandon have always\r\nbeen able to bring crowds - or a new band - together through tough\r\ntimes.\r\nDebut single 'Lorelei' exemplifies MRCY's method of viewing Soul\r\nthrough the contemporary looking glass. Their upcoming project,\r\nVOLUME 1, artfully combines musical weight, commanding vocals\r\nand otherworldly touches to produce songs that feel as personal as\r\nthey are deeply universal. For Barney and Kojo, the band is as much\r\nabout putting yourself first as it is the spirit of compassion, empathy\r\nand m(e)rcy that has never felt more needed. Soul, says Barney, is\r\n\"good people making music that matters.\" And from the very first\r\nline of standout single 'R.L.M.' - \"London rain on the window \/ I don't\r\ncare where we're gonna go \/ I'm good with you\" - MRCY offer a\r\nblissful respite from and an intoxicating soundtrack to the madness,\r\nthe magic, of the everyday\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR.L.M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lorelei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Purple Canyon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Days Like This\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flowers in Mourning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Powerless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Seven Candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420960399695,"sku":"656605165417","price":3.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4368355-3229833.jpg?v=1775631798","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/mrcy-volume-1","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
