TS-003 / The Mercury Program From the Vapor of Gasoline

Recorded by Andy Baker (Macha, Causey Way, Mendoza Line) in Athens, GA, From the Vapor clearly showed the band’s progression as songwriters and musicians from their previous releases on Boxcar Records. Due to the adoption of additional instrumentations (i.e. vibraphones), The Mercury Program successfully weaved jazz-induced drums with rhythmic basslines and off-time guitars, while quiet, spoken vocals added to the mix to create a truly classic record in the bands catalog.

Anecdotes

Quite simply: the first band that called us back when we started Tiger Style. These fellas are probably the nicest, most generous, understanding, and genuinely good people we had the privilege of working with.
