Mercury Rev

In October 2015, when Mercury Rev performed "Holes" live at Maida Vale, they were experiencing a resurgence in their career after several years of relative quiet. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "The Light In You" in 2015, which marked their first studio album in nearly a decade since "Snowflake Midnight" in 2008. The album featured collaborations with various artists and showcased a more mature sound that built upon their established dream-pop and psychedelic rock roots. Notably, the live session included a mix of both classic and newer material, reflecting the band’s evolution while paying homage to their foundational works. The performance at Maida Vale also highlighted their keen ability to blend intricate arrangements with emotive lyrics, underscoring their status as influential figures in the alternative music scene.
