Mercury Rev - Yerself is Steam + Car Wash Hair [2LP]

Step into the swirling, kaleidoscopic world of Mercury Rev with this essential vinyl reissue, featuring their groundbreaking debut Yerself is Steam alongside the expansive Car Wash Hair EP. Pressed on high-quality vinyl, this collection captures the raw, unfiltered energy of a band redefining psychedelic rock in the early '90s.

Yerself is Steam is a wild, genre-defying ride—part dream, part noise-soaked fever vision. Blending shoegaze textures, post-punk urgency, and experimental orchestration, it’s an album that manages to be both chaotic and hypnotically beautiful. Tracks like “Chasing a Bee” and “Frittering” shimmer with fractured melodies and emotional intensity, while “Very Sleepy Rivers” closes the album with a sprawling, 12-minute journey into sonic surrealism.

The included Car Wash Hair EP complements the album perfectly, showcasing the band’s more melodic, exploratory side with the title track standing out as one of Mercury Rev’s most affecting and accessible songs—a hazy, melancholic gem with an unmistakable '90s alt-psych sheen.

Housed in a beautifully designed sleeve, this vinyl release is a must-have for fans of The Flaming Lips, My Bloody Valentine, or Spacemen 3. Whether you're rediscovering this cult classic or experiencing its swirling madness for the first time, Yerself is Steam + Car Wash Hair on vinyl is a transcendent listening experience you won't want to miss.
