about

Celebrating twenty years, THE MERMEN, the implacably iconoclastic instrumental rock trio from San Francisco, California, are releasing their first studio album in a decade, with all new material. Titled "In God We Trust," the album reunites Jim Thomas (guitars), Martyn Jones (drums) & Allen Whitman (bass), with guest appearnces from Prairie Prince, Diana Mangano & Jennifer Burnes.

Together they create a musical pilgrimage starting from ambient oceanic dreamscape to relentless grindcore and back again; into a West Coast audio odyssey flowing through the Byrds, Neil Young and early Jerry Garcia before finally washing up on a decidedly wild and seldom visited beach. Far from gentle waves and pleasant temperatures but no less soothing to the spirit, the music of "IN GOD WE TRUST," is a coherent assembly of disparate songs wherein the whole is clearly rewarding when listened to as the sum of its parts. Put the headphones on and collapse into the folds of your couch. Open all the windows of your automobile and crank the volume while driving.
