'Mercy Of The Crane Folk' is the beautifully accomplished second album from Athens GA's Immaterial Possession.

A theatrical soundscape littered with subconscious flashbacks, retro keyboard flurries, wandering Morricone-esque guitar and dreamy Sumac-like harmonies.

Featuring the ethereal eerie dream pop of former artist commune residents Cooper Holmes and Madeline Polites, with drummer John Spiegel and Elephant 6 descendant Kiran Fernandes (keyboards, clarinets, flutes).

Additional contributions come from drummer Jon Vogt who can be heard on 'Mercy Of The Crane Folk' and 'Birth Of Queen Croaker'.

It's a haunting and immersive trip into the inner psyche of these nomadic soothsayers; a psychedelic dance party from a half-lit underground world; breathlessly eerie and all consuming; a salubrious sojourn that sounds like nothing else.

Filled with a kind of peculiar optimistic uncertainty that any quest to make sense of a drowsy recollection of simpler and far better times would have; 'Mercy Of The Crane Folk' is soft and serene summoning up a fanciful folkloric place where, undoubtedly, the mysterious crane flock prosper.

LP as Ltd GREEN Vinyl w/ DL card.
