Product description

Dive into the enigmatic world of John Cale with his seventeenth studio album, "Mercy," a masterful blend of art rock, baroque pop, proto-punk, and singer-songwriter sensibilities. Released on January 20, 2023, via Double Six Records, this album is a testament to Cale's enduring creativity and his ability to push musical boundaries, even at the age of 80.

"Mercy" is a rich tapestry of sounds and collaborations, featuring contributions from inspired younger guests that add a fresh perspective to Cale's signature style. The album spans a generous 71 minutes, packed with 12 tracks that explore themes of apocalyptic terror and introspection. From the hauntingly beautiful "Moonstruck (Nico's Song)" to the provocative "The Legal Status of Ice," each song is a unique journey into Cale's artistic vision.

Fans of Cale's earlier works will find familiar echoes in "Mercy," particularly in its dark and experimental tones that harken back to his 1982 album "Music for a New Society." However, this album is not just a nostalgic look back; it's a bold step forward, showcasing Cale's evolution as an artist and his unwavering commitment to innovation.

The album's packaging is as thoughtful as its content, released in a Digisleeve with a printed inner sleeve and a 16-page booklet, providing a tangible experience that complements the auditory one. Whether you're a long-time fan of John Cale or a newcomer to his music, "Mercy" offers a captivating exploration of sound and style that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This 2LP set is pressed on Blue vinyl.

  • Vinyl Quality Issues

    5 out of 5 stars
    AMRLOVOIAugust 23, 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    The "Blue Transparent" edition boasts excellent overall sound quality, but the vinyl itself is a bit of a letdown. It's quite crackly and has a lot of those annoying clicks and pops, especially right when each side starts.

  • Bass Purity in Hush-Hush Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    qiv_hapuluoyJanuary 18, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible record pressing. Quite hush-hush. The bass is absolutely pristine when played through a decent setup.

  • Cale's Solo Lackluster

    2 out of 5 stars
    tizxe59September 13, 2024United States🇺🇸

    John Cale seems to be missing some serotonin, much better when he's with Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. **/**
