‘All is dream’ remains Mercury Rev’s highest charting album in the UK to date (and second highest in the US).
Formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1989, Mercury Rev
quickly grew to become leading figures in left field
alternative rock. Earlier albums veered towards
experimental, off-kilter psychedelia but by the end of
the decade, the band had developed their own brand of
serene, piano-based Americana with the acclaimed, bestselling
LP ‘Deserter’s Songs’ (1998).
‘All Is Dream’ was originally released on V2 in 2001 in
August (Europe) and September (North America) and
boasted a more expansive, cinematic production than its
predecessor (again courtesy of ex-member Dave
Fridmann, by this time arguably the most in-demand
producer in alternative US Rock). The record was warmly
received by critics and fans alike, enjoying higher chart
positions than its predecessor (#11 UK, #17 US, Top 40 in
Australia and in various European countries).
