Album artwork for Three Apples In The Orange Grove by The Mergers

The record’s very first song Outta My Way is pretty similar to what you might expect from your favourite German beat‐quartet The Mergers – a smashing hit‐title, that is extremely catchy with powerful guitars and a spot‐on beat. Yet, it becomes clear very soon, that this album differs quite a bit from its predecessors. The songs invite to dive into a psychedelic, dreamy and very refined musical symphony. Paisley‐pop‐tunes like “Herman”, “Right As Rain” and “Maybe All You Need Is Time” mix with beautiful ballads like “In Course Of Time” or “Win Hands Down”, the Britpop‐hymn “Better Days” sounding like it should be an OASIS‐hit, and wilder, rockin’ tunes like “End Of The Day” and “Mauerpark”. With this album it seems the boys from Nuremberg have immersed themselves in the British sound of the late 60’s and merged psychedelic freakbeat‐sounds with their own, unique and timeless, fresh songwriting. With beautiful vocal harmonies and lots of reverb as well as an expansive array of swirling guitars, their sound comes across almost dreamlike.
