The Secret Migration

Christian Century,  Nov 29, 2005  by Lou R. Carlozo

The Secret Migration, by Mercury Rev (V2). Indie rock.

At turns giddy and reflective, Migration folds shimmering psychedelic textures beneath Jonathan Donahue's tremulous tenor.

A standout track is "In a Funny Way," a deft combination of Phil Spector beat and Esquivel Martian-music vibe. Elsewhere, "My Love" is a tale of regret and redemption ("I've struggled with an old angel all night long"), while "Down Poured the Heavens" is a heartfelt, piano-based love song in which Donahue sings: "When into my darkness I praise the god sublime / Who let this fallen angel into this world of mine."
