After a lengthy hiatus, Florida's The Mercury Program return to the musical forefront with "Chez Viking," a seven-song CD/LP released by the band's new label, Lovitt Records , in Winter 2009. Formed in the summer of 1997, they have re-emerged with a bracing mix of angular guitars, rhythmic bass lines, jazz-influenced drumming, and ethereal vibraphones. The Mercury Program first started as a three-piece outfit. Their first show was on New Year's Eve in 1998 at a friend's party in Chapel Hill. The Mercury Program soon recorded two 7"s with Boxcar Records including a split [...]
In the last week we've gone mental when seeing Muse and Biffy Clyro live and listening to the Pomegranates record. We've gone not so mental listening to Athlete.

Check out all of the artists listed below if they sound [...]

No, it's more a matter of us structuring any particular song to a shape we have in mind. We're trying to execute it. We're trying to make sure it moves properly from one thing to another. In a lot of our songs something is stated and then it's implied, or it's stated and then it disappears and it comes back later. The pacing of a song is more important than what we're actually playing. The actual notes we play are not so important. I have to say we don't give any consideration to the audience when writing songs. Every now [...]
