OH MERCY
Alexander Gow and Thomas Savage, the duo at the heart of Melbourne four-piece Oh Mercy, blend evocative and intelligent lyricism with a strong pop sensibility on their debut album Privileged Woes, showcasing the depth of the young songwriters’ polished pop brilliance. Following their successful debut EP In The Nude For Love, Privileged Woes was recorded in a spare room, the size of a single bed, by Panics drummer Myles Wootton, mixed by Matt Voigt (Cat Power, The Dirty Three, Paul Kelly) and mastered by Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound (TV on The Radio, The Strokes). Its lead singles Seemed Like A Good Idea, Lay Everything On Me and Get You Back demonstrate songwriting that Oyster Magazine describes as “like having Augie March covering The Go-Betweens in your backyard on a sunny afternoon”.
