New - Regulator Watts - The Mercury - LP

Debuting on vinyl domestically for the first time ever, 'The Mercury LP' builds on the Washington, D.C. punk band's debut 1996 EP (Slowdime/Dischord), adding assorted odds and ends recorded between 1996 and 1997. Former Hoover (Dischord Records) guitarist Alex Dunham's unconventional tunings defined the power trio's unique sonic footprint with a plangent, reverb-drenched tone by turns menacing, mercurial and haunting. Regulator Watts' dynamic range and rhythmic dexterity is well represented on this multi-faceted look back at their brief but prolific career.
