This is Mercurine:
A shimmer of guitars through a synthesized current of melody and pulse, bound between feminine vocal polarities from fragile to fierce. Lyrical meanings mirror the listener; frequently personal, often social, always emotional. Mercurine is to be interpreted much like a dream.
Let the dreamer beware.
Mercurine are a powerhouse duo whose music sounds at once modern yet reflective of post punk and '80s new wave. Mercurine's sound reaches fans of darkwave, synthpop, and alternative rock.
Following her work with bands such as black tape for a blue girl, Faith and the Muse and Cassandra Complex, founding member Mera Roberts set out to bring a unique musical vision into reality. She found the ideal collaborator in Byron Brown.
Byron is a master in the art of creating rich soundscapes. His inspired guitar and wall of effects have played a major role in several bands including Superfiends, New Ambassadors of Love, and Kommunity FK.
We play locally in Southern California and just completed our second US tour. We're planning to tour the US again next year in conjunction with the release of our third album.
Bands who have impacted us a great deal include Chameleons UK, New Order, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Cocteau Twins, The Pretenders.
