The Secret Migration (Vinyl)

Originally issued in January 2005, ‘The Secret Migration’ was the sixth album by Mercury Rev.

In the UK, where the band were signed to V2, the album spawned two singles, ‘In A Funny Way’ and ‘Across Yer Ocean’. Back in 2020, Cherry Red unveiled a deluxe 5CD edition of this sometimes overlooked album, compiled and co-ordinated in conjunction with Mercury Rev’s twin lynchpins, Jonathan Donaghue and Sean ‘Grasshopper’ Mackowiak.

Four years on, ‘The Secret Migration’ is treated to its first-ever reissue on vinyl – and with the added bonus of a second disc. Joining the original album are various B-sides and originally unissued out-takes.
