Psychedelic Rock band Mercury Rev will release their new studio album Born Horses on September 6th, 2024 via Bella Union. New single “A Bird of No Address” is out now. It is a track that “meditates on loss and survival.” Additionally, Mercury Rev have announced news of international tour dates including an Autumn European tour and further UK shows in early 2025.

Born Horses is vocally inspired by the spirits of art minimalist Tony Conrad (LaMonte Young’s Dream Syndicate w/ John Cale and a close friend to The Velvet Underground) and beat poet Robert Creeley ( An associate of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and the Black Mountain poets), who both taught at the University at Buffalo, the city where the band was formed.

The album title, named after the sixth track “Born Horses”, was chosen because “its words resonate through the entire record, encompassing the idea of flight (“I dreamed we were born horses waiting for wings”) and the phrase “You and I” that appears at different junctures on the album. This is not the concept of two separate people, but two parts of oneself.”
