MRCY - Volume 1

MRCY are producer Barney Lister and vocalist Kojo Degraft-Johnson. Hailing from different ends of England and disparate cultures, theirs is a space of soulful self-expression that combines the timeless musical warmth and social consciousness of Marvin Gaye with the genre-melding, modern sensibility of Anderson .Paak and SAULT. “It’s like hearing a distant memory,” Barney says. “But one that speaks to where you are now.”

MRCY's music reverberates with individual perspectives, but also reminds how those common experiences of graft, grit and abandon have always been able to bring crowds - or a new band - together through tough times. Volume 1 artfully combines musical weight, commanding vocals, and otherworldly touches to produce songs that feel as personal as they are deeply universal.

This vinyl edition was produced by Dead Oceans Records in 2024.
