SANDMAN REVIEW - April 2008Mercia DriftThe Be All And End AllMercia Drift almost flew right under my radar. Quite
how they managed this is beyond me, as this is an
absolute gem. Opening track ‘All I Want To Be’ introduces
itself with old-fashioned majesty, bringing to mind
Coldplay. Before you get on your musical high horse,
however, just take a minute to let the soaring strings and
gorgeous vocals capture you. ‘Worlds End’ does, as the
title suggests, conjure up images of standing on a mountain
during the final moments of an impending apocalypse.
The complete pomposity of the song is done
extremely well, and without any hint of pretension, doomy
and uplifting at the same time. Closing track ‘Same Boat’
is stronger still, glorious synths and vocals full of melancholic
optimism lift the song up.Sandman April 2008________________________________________________________
