It’s been a while since Dr. Mery & The Acronyms of Disaster featured around these parts, but William Delaney (and his somewhat longwinded name for his solo project) are back on Rack & Ruin, with a release which Bill feels is his best work to date.


This …Are Dead release expands on his previous effort, and mainly revolves around his guitar work, acoustic and electric working in unison, and melting together with some beautiful riff work.


That being said, this release does contain great usage of ambient swells, and organic textures that merge sweetly into the overlaying chords. It’s also worth mentioning that this release uses some new drum software, Hydrogen, which has helped Dr. Mercy’s sound progress away from the repetitive thuds that may have hampered his sound develop in the past.


With solid tracks like “The Fire Department Conversation”, and “It Gets Fucked”, this is a great step forward. As someone once wrote about Dr. Mercy, “This is good late-summer nights backporch music”, I can see where they are coming from, but it does work in the winter too!
