I recently got to see Oh Mercy play live. What struck me is how effortless they sound: they harmonise beautifully and their guitar sound is reminiscent of the best in sixties and eighties pop à la The Byrds or The Go-Betweens. Great Barrier Grief, their sophomore release, comes on the heels of last year’s well-crafted EP, Keith Street, and their critically-acclaimed 2009 debut, Privileged Woes. The new record finds the band maturing. New single Stay Please Stay takes you on a blissful journey that resembles the way you may feel relaxing on a (rare) beautiful Melbourne evening.
