REVIEW
Manchester-based indie-rock outfit Longview are in pursuit of a grand, romantic--indeed, religious--vision, and on their debut album, Mercury, they realise it with no lack of wide-eyed faith. \"God\'s love will save our lives / It will come shining bright,\" sings frontman Rob McVey on the opening \"Further\", indicating, in this age when Christian rock is typically dismissed as the tritest of the trite, a rather surprising bravery of conviction. Luckily, however, there\'s far more to Mercury than over-serious religious zeal. Fulsome guitar vistas like \"Will You Wait Here\" and \"Electricity\" touch at the dreamy psychedelia of fellow Mancunians Doves or Elbow--albeit an Elbow realised without Guy Garvey\'s trademarked curmudgeonly attitude and invested with a hearty optimism. Importantly, for Longview, there are hit singles in the waiting here: \"I Would\" is a windswept take on the sort of lilting piano balladry that Coldplay did before them, and Echo and the Bunnymen did long before them; and the thunderous \"When You Sleep\" marches along with a righteous ire little seen since the Smiths flounced through these parts.

CD Description
Debut album by Manchester indie band snapped up by East West after their demo was played on influential London radio station XFM. With a chiming, lush and full sound that echoes Doves, Radiohead, Coldplay, Ride, early Verve and Jeff Buckley, they aim to strike a chord with their deep, emotionally resonant songwriting. Includes the singles \'Further\', \'Nowhere\', \'When You Sleep\' and \'Electricity\'.
