Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'A Glorious Lethal Euphoria', The Mermen actively stretch the rigid parameters of classic instrumental surf rock far into highly expansive, deeply psychedelic post-rock territory. The trio utilizes massive amounts of delay and heavy reverb to accurately simulate the crushing, overwhelming intensity of the ocean itself. It is widely considered a modern instrumental masterpiece, far exceeding typical genre pastiche.
