Out Now: Sneaky Feelings - The Mercury Moment
Following a rare performance on Waitangi Day (February 6), Sneaky Feelings have released their first new album since 2017’s critically acclaimed album Progress Junction.
The Mercury Moment, the quartet’s new album out via Flying Nun Records, is a potent exploration of extinction, redundancy and disappointed dreams as the four songwriters cast their attention on the current state of the world.
Over a songbook of twelve songs, Matthew Bannister, David Pine, Martin Durrant and John Kelcher ruminate on the “ludicrous hopes and bleak future” of humanity that is being avoided. As stark realities are shared, a nonchalant musical backdrop accompanies the songs with chilling indifference.
