Oh Mercy embrace the funk, swinging low, loose and bass-heavy on Drums. The melody rolls and pitches, playing out one way on the lead guitar, another way on the piano, the layers distinct but subtly intertwined. When the brass kicks in, it’s squat and grimy; a big dirty sound to offset Alex Gow’s Prince-emulating falsetto. Nice work.
