Mercury 2004

"Mercury" An album aptly named for it's ever-morphing musical backdrops with extremely adventurous song writing, a unique voice, and lyrical content covering truth, coyness, charm, and mythos.
UHP's debut album starts off in a bizarre Beatle-esque pop-rock electro surfer song, moves into the jazz-noir / electronic Dragonfly with trumpet solo and lush strings, only to find oneself smack in the middle of Misdirected a moody and explosive art rock piece. This is just a sampling of the first three songs. The album moves on in this fashion and delights the listener with the unexpected even within songs. Lyrics range from overcoming self-sabotage, metaphorical dragonflies, the dangers of divination, and dragons on a mountainside.
