Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Have Mercy

Connecticut-based trio Mercies describe themselves as “indie beach-core forest-pop.” And that’s just about right. Take a pinch of sepia-toned Beach Boys whimsy, a healthy dose of Dirty Projectors swagger and a little wide-eyed Fleet Foxes wonder, and you’ve got an approximation of the band’s debut full-length, Three Thousand Days. Touring in support of that record as well as a recently released EP, The Ballet, the Mercies play Club Metronome in Burlington this Thursday, November 1, with locals Maryse Smith and Shelly Shredder.
