Constructing from compelling introspection right into a heat, jangly title-touting attract, “Mercury” is a wonderful new single from Bud Kelsey. The Boone, North Carolina-based artist wrote the observe after his earlier band dissolved, leading to embarking upon a contemporary inventive route that fuses warmingly melodic rock and twangy nation with seamless entrancement. The discharge represents a radical success from Kelsey, who carried out all devices on the recording.
“Right here we go once more, getting by one other day,” Kelsey’s vocals exude a relatable sentiment from the get-go, delivering sentiments of discovering one’s means, alone if essential — conveyed artfully within the “flying within the passing lane with the home windows darkish and rolled up” descriptor and beat-up automotive descriptions. Harmonious vocal layers then envelop right into a radiant “mercury” outpouring as lush guitar twangs amplify in prominence.
The ultimate minute is especially magnetic in its overlapping of the title-touting hovering and contemplative lyrical pursuits, culminating in a lush array of acoustic strums and “say it another way” perspective. Personable and melodic, “Mercury” is an accessible, pleasant charmer of a observe from Bud Kelsey.
