Yellow Vinyl. In dark and difficult times, the music of Barney Lister
and Kojo Degraft-Johnson lifts us up. As Mrcy, the production
and vocal duo are confronting the many crises of modern life
with a fresh sound full of punchy instrumentation, enveloping
orchestration and lyrical honesty. On their latest project,
VOLUME 2, Barney and Kojo deliver emotive music that surprises
as much as it comforts, referencing timeless sounds as much as
a sense of the cutting edge. Channeling soulful vocal melody
alongside afrobeat polyrhythms, jazz soloing and driving,
distorted grooves, tracks like "Man" address the challenges of
modern masculinity, while standout number "Fear" drives a
message that encourages us to fight the terror we might feel
about the state of the world with optimism. Following the
acclaimed release of their 2024 debut project VOLUME 1, which
saw the duo nominated as Rising Stars at the Rolling Stone
Awards and named as one of DIY's Class of 2025, Mrcy returns
with vital music that addresses the complexities of being alive
today. "We're trying to extinguish fear with optimism and worry
with love," Barney says. "VOLUME 2 breaks the mould to present
a bigger picture of who we are - something with angst, surprises
and more guts. The main feeling of the project is that the world
is fucked but let's dance through it."
