The Mercury Program is a four piece post-rock/instrumental band from Gainesville, FL and New York, NY. This week marks their first release in seven years and it may very well be the best instrumental album this year. The seven song just under 32-minute album is epic on all levels. From the opening note you know that you are about to embark on a musical journey using the sounds to envision your own sights for this masterpiece. ex-This Day Forward and current Circa Survive members rave it is still their favorite instrumental band stating: "The Mercury Program have a new record coming out on tuesday. From the snippets I've heard they're up to their old tricks and are as awesome as ever. The sounds have evolved but it's familiar and comforting at the same time. Its that same vessel. Navigating through time, taking the twists and turns as they come." So don't just take our word for it, head over to the buy link and check out an amazing band.

SWEET! Didn't know people knew about this band on this site, except for Matt Murphy who was sporting a Chez Viking avatar a while ago.
