Ice Cream 03:06
Baby babe Maybe maybe Maybe we could work it out you're already freezing My cherry pouts Maybe we could work it out Baby babe Maybe maybe Maybe we could work it out Over Over twists and splits Sugared sprinkled bits Maybe i could take you for ice cream Time is ticking baby I see your cone is dripping crazy Get above my radar And watch me melt

Love Dust 03:25
Dumb lust it's love dust, hooray! Sprinkle the sadness away I'll give you anything to stay Dying to give this heart away Dumb luck 'cause love's come my way What she commands I obey I don't care please understand You can have the world I'll take the man Dumb lust it's dumb lust, you'll see It will not end gracefully (Even in fantasy it’s a calamity) Love's a betrayal of the past (Cannot refuse when your love is in bloom) Every kiss could be your last Dumb lust it's love dust, hooray! Sprinkle the sadness away (Call me a fool as I break every rule) I'll give you anything to stay (It’s worth it anyway) Dying to give this heart away

Lioness 04:23
I'm ending my day with a speaker fetch me the shade, zookeeper my body's a stray I’m a sneaker of the day wishing that you'd walk on by He wont change I’m untamed this body is a cage zookeeper he wanna keep her in chains I’ve been dancing on my honey he don’t know my swing its a harsh reality when what you love ain’t what you need but I care and i'm there while we sing a dayenu what is real - we sin honest, tell me do hearts feel? he gets real tired at the sound of my name he don't know where he’s going it don't matter in this place everywhere where these cool girls commence I rip em to shreds with my nails I get real nervous when he runs round those girls zookeeper unknotted my tail zookeeper do you know how that feel zookeeper is that catching chills? zookeeper does my baby - oh - something tells me my baby wants a thrill

A Torrent 03:23
You were like a torrent that took me in my dream Muddy churning chocolate foam and boulders rumbling In the rapids In the rapids In the rapids In the rapids I can't swim to the surface I don't know which way is up Days go by in blurs and I can't explain to anyone Where my heart is Where my heart is Where my heart is Where my heart is The torrent in my dream swept me all away How I wish I was a storm so I could do the same To your fine heart To your fine heart To your fine heart To your fine heart

Evil Baby 02:41
I know what you are Get out of the house You're evil baby You used to act so sweet And I used to worshipped at your feet But now you're just dripping spite Your tongue it cuts just like a knife I know what you are Get out of the house You're evil baby You were telling lies while I sacrificed Did you ever once speak the truth When you were underneath this roof? I know what you are Get out of the house You're evil baby You left to conquer the world I saw your revenge unfurled Like a flag, a red carpet under lights You were just itching for a fight I know what you are Get out of the house You're evil baby

about

Mercy brings her unique, mesmerizing voice to songs that showcase her eclectic musical tastes and styles, from urban chill, to indie folk, to jazz, to new wave retro disco. In everything she sings, she brings her own unique depth of feeling, as well as a sly sense of humor, which shine through her singing and draw you into her world.

These songs are the result of a collaboration in the winter of 2015-2016 with Christopher Pellnat, who wrote some of the songs, did production and recording, and played instruments. He sings a duet with Mercy on "A Torrent."

The artwork for the EP is by Mercy Weiss.

What music writers have to say about Mercy EP:

"Her voice is warm, full of distinctive character, with tone and phrasing eerily reminiscent at times of other characterful and natural contralto voices in jazz – for example long-time favourites Astrud Gilberto and Billie Holiday." - Pop Lib music blog

"Mercy's voice is coarsely sultry and transports you an alternative universe somewhere between a 1940's speakeasy and 1970's Studio 54." - Robb Donker of American Pancake

"I am absolutely captivated by this juxtaposition of seductive Lana Del Rey-like vocals and circus-esque instrumentation. It feels uncannily like a 19th century cabaret, with an accordion to boot!" - Stephen Carradini of Independent Clauses

"... xanax torch songs for 2016." - The Modern Folk Music of America
