    Mercury cuts to a deeper emotional core than the Range's previous work, and it's easily the producer's most successful release to date.

    Hinton’s own voice doesn’t show up on his latest LP, but it doesn’t have to. His songs tug at heartstrings all the same, and in a cultural landscape where “Does this make you feel something?” is now the predominant question, Mercury is sure to prompt a resounding yes.

    ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ seems to be the theme running through ‘Mercury’, the first LP from producer James Hinton in six years. And that’s by no means a criticism.
