Hands and Knees: “Mercury In Retrograde”

“Mercury In Retrograde”? It’s astrological and offers the following advice: “Expect to have more or less energy than you're used to, particularly of the nervous variety.” Nervous energy characterizes the high tempo shuffle percussion that bops its way through the early pop gem. Shades of Beatles, They Might Be Giants, and Drug Rug. That’s right, a 2023 Drug Rug shout out! Elsewhere on the album View From Ghost Tree, Hands and Knees picks up the pace, so enjoy the relative peace of our highlighted track.
