Mercury Falling finds Sting in a reflective, wintry mood, and this 180 gram pressing gives its rich, detailed arrangements the weight they deserve.
Released in 1996, the album followed Ten Summoner's Tales and pushed further into the eclectic songwriting that defined his solo years. The big pop gestures are traded for songs about loss, faith and the slow turn of the seasons, written by a musician relaxed enough to let jazz, soul, country and English folk share the same room.
The Hounds Of Winter opens the record with a cool, rolling groove and a lyric about grief that feels like frost forming on a window. I Hung My Head is a stark, odd-metered murder ballad that later found a second life when Johnny Cash recorded it, while Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot drifts toward gospel with warm horns and a patient, consoling melody. You Still Touch Me swaps the melancholy for a Memphis soul strut, a reminder that he never lost his playful streak.
This is a record that rewards close listening, full of supple bass lines, careful drumming and understated vocal phrasing, and heavyweight vinyl gives those details plenty of room.
For anyone drawn to his quieter, more literate side, Mercury Falling remains one of the most quietly rewarding albums in his catalogue.
