Mere Mortals

Mere Mortals Is A Name Shared By Two Bands, both with different styles in sound and energy. One person, aethelyon,had this to say, "Sound as if they're angling for a spot in the Britpop pantheon, nurturing a jangly, neo-psychedelic sound that brings to mind early Primal Scream, Supergrass or maybe Oasis as fronted by a man who smiles at the world rather than sneers. The merry band of do-it yourselfers self-released the all-wheat, no-chaff "Rebel Radio" EP late last year, and several of the disc's seven songs cracked the specialty charts (which track the amount of airplay on "specialty" shows where the DJs program their own music). German-born, London-reared Axel Steuerwald's deft songwriting touch makes the Mortals slam-dunks to make Jonesy's jukebox. Maybe they can make yours too." Another had this to say, "Mere Mortals, the Duo consisting of Dan Handrabur and his wife Cristina Handrabur, has been in evolution for five years as a downtempo side-project reflecting his other worldly influences and indigenous perimeters. The result of these explorations has brought about a richly distinct ethno-morphic dub 'n'bass flavored sound that often glides between the worlds of pop substance and avant-garde electronicisms." The first description belongs to the album Mondegreen Dream And the latter description applies to the rest of the albums. Read more on Last.fm.
