BLACK VINYL LP.

"In upstate New York, deep in the seam between the Catskills mountains and the Hudson Valley, a richly swelling, spellbound sound emerges, eddying and flowing like the local Esopus Creek, or in the slipstream of the grander Hudson river, carrying the flotsam and jetsam of our hopes, dreams, fears. A sound composed of organic and electronic; guitars, keys, brass, strings, woodwind, drums - and a voice of incantations, tapping streams of consciousness that similarly eddy and flow. Spiritually, literally, psycho-geographically: where else does Mercury Rev's ninth album Born Horses spring from? This cascade of gleaming, glistening psych-jazz-folk-baroque-ambient quest that searches it's soul but can never truly know the answer? A sound and vision linked to their exalted past whilst quite unlike anything they have created before? The answer is somewhere between the homes of founder members Jonathan Donahue (the hamlet of Mt Tremper) and Grasshopper (the town of Kingston), in their veins and brains of their now-legendary tapping of musical cosmology, and the vital presence of new permanent member Marion Genser (keys), plus long-term ally Jesse Chandler (keys) and guests Jeff Lipstein (drums), Martin Keith (double bass) and Jim Burgess (trumpet). A place that feeds off the levitating mood of their last album, 2019's expansive tribute Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited, and the instrumental psych explorations under the names of Harmony Rockets and Mercury Rev's Clear Light Ensemble, and the spiritual guidance of avant-garde artist Tony Conrad and Beat poet Robert Creeley, to whom Born Horses is dedicated. Born Horses opens with 'Mood Swings'. A trumpet, evoking mariachi and the windswept terrain of the desert prairie, opens up to a dynamic panorama of sound, wandering through and enveloping Jonathan's intimate recitation, conflating memories and confessions of feelings trapped and unwrapped: "My mood swings come and go as they like / rebellious fickle teenagers, unable to decide." It establishes Born Horses' tone of vulnerability and awe, and a little frisson of fear, testifying to the frailty of human experience, buffeted by the currents all around us. The flightiness of feelings is further explored by the metaphor of a bird, most clearly in 'Bird Of No Address' and the album's pulsating finale 'There Has Always Been A Bird In Me'. The album title, named after the majestically rippling sixth track 'Born Horses', was chosen because it's words resonate through the entire record, encompassing the idea of flight ("I dreamed we were born horses waiting for wings") and the phrase "You and I" that appears at different junctures on the album. This is not the concept of two separate people, but two parts of one self. The concept of Born Horses began pre-pandemic, and then once Mercury Rev were allowed to tour and record again, Marion Genser moved over from her native Austria to join Jonathan in the Catskills, and Mercury Rev in full flight. A classically-trained painter as well as a musician, Marion has become an invaluable addition to the Rev chemical compound. More inspiration was provided by the spirits of Tony Conrad and Robert Creeley, acolytes of progressive thought and action who both taught at the University at Buffalo when Jonathan and Grasshopper were students. Amongst other credentials, Conrad was an associate of John Cale and The Velvet Underground, Creeley an associate of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and the Black Mountain poets."

Love this body wash!
My family loves this brand body wash and this scent is very nice!! Not too strong, but not too light either. The pump is great for ease of use. We all have sensitive skin and this leaves us smooth, soft, moisturized, and smelling nice. Doesn’t flare our eczema. Good price.

Highly recommend if you want something fresh, clean, and long-lasting
I picked up the Method Men Body Wash in Glacier + Granite and have been seriously impressed. First off, the scent is fantastic — clean, fresh, and masculine without being overpowering. It has a crisp, outdoorsy vibe that smells elevated but not like heavy cologne. It’s subtle enough for everyday use but still noticeable in a good way. The lather is excellent. You only need a small amount, and it foams up quickly on a loofah or washcloth, which makes the XL 28 oz bottle last a long time. It rinses off easily and leaves skin feeling clean without that tight, overly-dried feeling some body washes cause. I also appreciate that it’s paraben- and phthalate-free. It feels like a higher-end product at a very reasonable price point. Between the quality ingredients, great scent, and generous size, this one is definitely staying in the shower lineup. Highly recommend if you want something fresh, clean, and long-lasting. It smells so good!!

This moisturizing stick is incredible. This is by far the best beauty product I have tried. I had a noticeable difference in my skins appearance in just a couple days. Week 2 my skin is brighter, clearer, softer, bouncier, and just looks overall more healthy. I have tried numerous products for day and night time. I have been using the multi balm stick twice a day and am so impressed. I wait a few minutes to apply make up as it needs a bit to soak in but I was happy it does work well under your make up. Also has a light sweet fragrance with no irritation.

Best Skincare Product in a Tube!
Style: MULTIBALM
The Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm Stick has been making waves in the beauty world, and after testing it, I can see why it's become so popular with skincare lovers. The twist-up stick design makes it incredibly convenient for on-the-go tough-ups - no messy jars or applicators needed. The balm glides on smoothly, leaving a light, dewy finish without feeling greasy. I found it especially useful for dry patches around the eyes and lips. Over makeup, it freshens the skin without disturbing the base too much, which is perfect for mid-day hydration boosts. With consistent use, my skin felt softer and more supple, especially around the sensitive eye area. While it's not a miracle wrinkle eraser, it does help plump and smooth the skin temporarily, making it look healthier and more radiant. If you're looking for a hydrating, glow-boosting balm that you can toss in your bag and use anywhere, the Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm Stick is worth trying.
