Mercury Rev and Margo Price

It's been a little bit since we last got new music from the oft uncategorizable Mercury Rev, but it appears we have a new record on the horizon heading our way in February.  And it's a tribute/cover album of singer/songwriter country artist Bobbie Gentry's 1968 record "The Delta Sweete."  The band's take on the record, "Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited" features a whole slew of guest vocalists as well, including Hope Sandoval, Rachel Goswell, Marissa Nadler, Vashti Bunyan, and more.  You can pre-order it here via Bella Union, but in the meantime, listen to "Sermon" below, featuring Margo Price on vocals.  The band's cosmic psych-leaning, hypnotizing music paired with Price's old school country vocals makes for a dusty, spacey, and fascinating listen.
