Reminder: Mercury Rev Is At The Independent Tonight, Tomorrow

In case you find yourself needing to escape your holiday shopping and commitments, may we kindly suggest a trip to the world of the lush, psychedelic pop of Mercury Rev? The band will be at The Independent tonight and tomorrow, in support of their latest record Snowflake Midnight (and, presumably, its online companion Strange Attractor). If you dig on reverbed vocals, solid songwriting, and wave after wave of killer synths, well - it doesn't get much better than this. Not to mention, it's the tail end of their national tour: we're guessing it'll be a pretty damn good pair of gigs.
