—Mercy Choir -
Mercy Choir share first single, “GUN,” off of their forthcoming LP, The Very Great and Horrible Harshness, on Soundcloud today. Enjoy, reblog, retweet, and share!
The full album will be released digitally on June 1st.
Paul Belbusti, aka Mercy Choir has announced The Very Great and Horrible Harshness, the follow up to 2010’s Sings. The album, which will be released June 1st, contains 11 new tracks recorded at Belbusti’s home in Guilford, CT. These new Mercy Choir compositions were recorded using an IPad and little else. The Very Great and Horrible Harshness was mixed by Belbusti and is being mastered by Grammy Award Winning Engineer Greg Thompson.
I’ve always wanted to make an album of miniatures. Very layered, short, strange little multi-genre pieces. That’s what this album is. A lot of information in a little bit of time. Something that will make you happy, sad, angry, and hysterical while you drive to the grocery store.
—Let's Obliterate Each Other
Pirates Player: Let’s Obliterate Each Other
This song here is a collaboration between me (rhythm track) and Chris Trull (everything else). It’s from a full-length release of collaborations between Chris and various beatmaking dudes called “We Are Irrelevant.” The entire record can be downloaded free of charge here. If you like mind-bending guitar work that ain’t your daddy’s typical wankery, I suggest you grab it.
New Christopher Trull music for 2011!

Mercy Choir - Yr Style
“Yr Style” - Mercy Choir 5/18/10 As part of the promotional lead up to the June 10 release of the new “Mercy Choir” E.P. “Sings”, the duo has released the track “Yr Style” as a preview.This track marks a series of firsts for the NYC group: - It’s the first time anyone other than primary songwriter Paul Belbusti has been heard on a Mercy Choir track. Brooklyn’s Rosser Lomax, the other half of the psych folk duo, plucks on the telecaster and sings plenty of juicy harmonies. - It’s the first Mercy Choir track to be recorded somewhere other than Belbusti’s home studio. The entire E.P. was recorded at Spaceman Sound Studios in Brooklyn. - It’s perhaps the poppiest Belbusti composition ever. And it might be a little jarring to anyone who’s used to Mercy Choir’s occasionally abrasive and lo-fi material. “Sings” marks the beginning of a new era for the tirelessly performing Mercy Choir. After a rapid fire series of live performances in NYC, the CD release party for “Sings” will be held at Bar Matchless in Brooklyn on June 10 (with PAPS and Morgan Heringer) and then June 13 at HILLSTOCK 2010, a yearly Brooklyn music festival. The E.P. will be released digitally and on limited edition, hand assembled CD.
Issue #2 of Wobbling Roof Magazine is available now. Featuring work by Brandon Downing, Anselm Berrigan, David B. Applegate, CaConrad, and many more… Enjoy.
