About this product
The long-awaited return of Brooklyn's Beach Fossils, Somersault showcases a band in bloom. Charting into new musical territory with a refined songwriting style, it's an album that captures flashes of life in New York grounded in personal experience. As the band's first on Dustin Payseur's new tag Bayonet Records, which he co-owns with wife Kate Garcia - the group made the most of their newfound independence, investing ample time in expanding it's range both musically and lyrically. While Payseur handled the bulk of the songwriting duties in the past, Somersault is a true collaboration between the founding member and bandmates, Jack Doyle Smith and Tommy Davidson. Somersault evokes the laid-back mood of a warm, breezy city night, the air crackling with humidity and excitement. These songs pulse and pull, capturing a blend of promise and heartache. It's beautiful and layered, a refined, sweeping creation that threads together numerous styles, textures, and themes into a refreshing, singular vision.

Beach Fossils - Beach Fossils [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/25/2010
Double vinyl LP pressing. Originally issued in January 2005, 'The Secret Migration' was the sixth album by Mercury Rev. In the UK, where the band were signed to V2, the album spawned two singles, 'In A Funny Way' and 'Across Yer Ocean'. Back in 2020, Cherry Red unveiled a deluxe 5CD edition of this sometimes overlooked album, compiled and co-ordinated in conjunction with Mercury Rev's twin lynchpins, Jonathan Donaghue and Sean 'Grasshopper' Mackowiak. Four years on, 'The Secret Migration' is treated to it's first-ever reissue on vinyl - and with the added bonus of a second disc. Joining the original album are various B-sides and originally unissued out-takes. Among the bonus are cover versions of Bobby Charles' Bearsville gem 'Tennessee Blues'; 'Afraid', originally by Chicago rock band Dovetail Joint; two Paul Westerberg songs, The Replacements Androgynous' and his solo effort 'Good Day'; Daniel Johnston's 'Blue Clouds'; and 'I Never Had It So Good' by Paul Williams. Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1989, MERCURY REV quick grew to become leading figures in left field alternative rock. Earlier albums veered towards experimental, off-kilter psychedelia but by the end of the decade, the band had developed their own brand of serene, piano-based Americana with the acclaimed, best-selling LP 'Deserter's Songs' (1998). Mercury Rev are currently active with forthcoming shows over the coming months around a brand new studio album.
