Demians Mercury

“Mercury“ is the new album by French independent rock artist Nicolas Chapel under the moniker of Demians.

And from its very first second, it obviously feels and sounds like a brand new start.

His first release as Demians in four years, Chapel has chosen to put out “Mercury“ completely independently as a CD, MP3 and Deluxe LP pre-order on Demians’ website www.demians-music.com.

“I see it as a positive way of presenting a music that i find positive, and the only appropriate way to develop it for the future”, he says.

From the thumping drums opening the title track, to the intense delicacy of “Swan Song“ ‘s last notes, “Mercury“ takes you on a ride, leaving no corners unexplored. With the punch of the epileptic “White Chalk“, the sexy grooves of the infectious “Little Invisible“, the fat, throbbing tremolos of “Spellbound Lily“, contrasting with the slow-motion echoes of the aptly named “Water and a Sigh“, Chapel’s intention was to make the most panoramic collection of songs he could. “The albums I love the most are like that, constantly shifting gears and directions, with no consideration for genres, like Neil Young’s “Harvest“ or Jeff Buckley’s “Grace“ “.
