1.
Turn On the Phone (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) A comedy set in motion By something you saw With a poking semblance And pigs, pigs in shadows Staring eyes, through gaping holes These are your constant companions Beaks speak of onions And all these herbs you rake More than atoms at stake Turn on the phone
2.
Purge it From the World (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) If we don't like it We purge it from the world With a gun and a bomb And a knife and a runt And a rock and a stick And a three strike rule With a hate and a me And a you and a them And a we and a line Don't you cross it now man If you do, bad for you Gonna take everything That you own gonna take Don't you say I didn't warn you now If we don't like it We purge it from the world Nacio la virgen tocan las trompetas El pueblo libre cantan las abejas
3.
Paris Ampheta (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Flying miles and miles to see the water From the wing seat we could discern the tide So let me drop upon it like the droppings of clouds Tickled by the riptide, taunted by the undertow In this landscape flat with Bush Skating the rings, the outer lines, blobs To make it read for birds Ampheta rushing through my veins The thick and syrupy nectar, black and dense Clogging tugging pushing pulling Clogging tugging pushing pulling Can you hear the honking horns The rush of traffic pushed in speed The buzzing of french in words The rolling of cobbled steps
4.
A Territorial Invasion (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) When you think you're done beating your chest When you think you're done with paying respects When you think you want yes all you want is to forget Again... look again The judge is bereft Clinging to and swinging to Demolition experts Asking you to take a closer look It's a territorial invasion And preparations take the place Of the space in your design Place a square to mark the sign Looking to take The patience you don't have Comes a cripple in red And a burning straw hat Asking you to not be late
5.
Compra Siembra (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Donde baila la zorra veloz Canta, chinga, a los pies del sol Salta corre come calor Besa chupa y saca dolor Compra siembra
6.
For Real 03:02
For Real (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) I don't want nothing to do with it Why do you want to give it to me I don't want nothing of it no Just get it out of my face We have is for real For real, for real and for real Why talk if we ain't got ammends Disappear, reappear comes again I'm already broken up with goodbyes One more ain't gonna go unnoticed We have is for real For real, for real and for real

Sate Sane 01:40

Tartamudo 07:13
Tartamudo (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Esas cosas en feria El que compra feroz Almohadas y penas Pasan por la noche Devuelta al sol Abanicos con calor Sin verguenza sin dolor Mortificando la television Amenaza la paz con ternura y pan El beso te dejo tartamudo Desnudo como un chichi Haciendo pichi afuera de iglesias Tu me aprecias El beso te dejo tartamudo
9.
Swastikas 04:15
Swastikas (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Banners with swastikas waving up high Banners with swastikas waving up high Banners with swastikas waving up high The blood was hard to bleach Not all of it came off But fortunately and instead See it made a pattern Something like a smiley face In a place off of the crossing The cold cement remains as a testament Torn down, torn down To you to be torn down To you to be torn down To you to be torn down To be a parking place How about we draw on it Pictures of naked marvels And this weatherproof dome And all, all, all you can eat To you to be torn down To you to be torn down We go this weatherproof dome, a dome
10.
How It Goes 02:16
How it Goes (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Come here And sit here And tell me how it goes

12.
Evolution 02:37
Evolution (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Hello evolution Here to make a restitution And bring back the chairs I borrowed Left you many messages As to why I would be late As to why I'm late And now it is fall and all is much better Solid in webs no blower can tear The spittin' image of a shooting star you are And a friend to the bondage A participant agent of carnage
13.
Keep the Watch (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Rolling past this fretting mind In the night, not to sleep Fighting the yawning state Minding to keep the watch Aided by substance with games to play Don't look now I'm indisposed The door is locked from the inside Branches tapping and windows cracking With wind to sway the brush
14.
In Case I Forgot to Mention (Lyrics Marcelo Radulovich © 2007) Your derelict mind has got us in stitches Remembering the time we were you Hitting replay at every finale And taking notes for the first exodus In case I forgot to mention We voted for you We keep thinking about interventions How to get rid of you / How to get through to you

about

Mercurio is an intriguing display of an artist’s ever-growing musical vocabulary, a further crossbreed of styles and instrumentation, recorded and produced at Titicacaman Studio in Cardiff, CA between 2004 and 2007, re-mixed in 2013. In Mercurio, Marcelo plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals, focusing on creating a work that is deeply personal and singular, with lyrics that deal with the socio-political issues of always, family bonds and home, the omnipotent and the mangled stuff of the psyche.

These are raw, emotive songs, some in English, some in Spanish, one in a made-up language, the uniquely intriguing Sate Sane. The music is dense and very colorful, rich with samples and textures interacting with an array of acoustic and electric instruments, moving in and out of time signatures in an improvisational fashion. The result is a sort of organized, microtonal, twisted, filtered, electro-acoustic messy soulful brew, concocted at the crossroads of experimental and pop.
