Wise Beyond Their Years
"Miss Frost" marks the debut single release for London four piece The Wild Mercury Sound and it is a release that is sure to gain them a legion of fans.
Tentative to start, "Miss Frost" is a spiralling journey that transforms from a slow, sensitive ode to an ex-girlfriend into a juggernaut of a track laced with grunge fuelled guitars that collide perfectly with an ominous bass undercurrent that hammers home Miss Frost's rawness with verve. But The Wild Mercury Sound aren't content to leave you merely with this as "Miss Frost" explodes to reveal a sharp, crisp sound bolstered by vocal harmonies to warm all on a cold autumn day and destined to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention for all the right reasons. 'Itchy Skin' continues to expose the powerful potential of the London band as their PJ Harvey inspired guitars chug and pound with ample venom and swagger, insuring fists are pumping in time with the swaying of your body.
With not a single member yet breaking into their twenties, The Wild Mercury Sound is a band that offers a sophistication way beyond their years. Add to this a musical skill and sensitivity to excite all plus a sound that simply erupts with a vigour and life all of its own and it is immediately clear that The Wild Mercury Sound will soon be setting up home in musical devices across the country.
