Critic Reviews

PopMatters

The not-to-be-missed fourth album by EDM artist James Hinton aka the Range is simultaneously his most retro sounding and forward-looking. Mercury is engrossing.

AllMusic

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.

73
Pitchfork
On his first album in six years, the Vermont-based musician continues to flesh out lush, melancholy electronic music with amateur vocals sourced from the internet.

Clash

Affecting electronics that ties in neatly with his past work.

His sample-heavy style might not be for everyone, but it's definitely for me personally and this project is a superior, gleaming example of his unique production skills. An elevated take on his previous work that feels more grand and saturated.

Cuando adopta cierta oscuridad y nocturnidad es que le veo un poco más de gusto a algo que suena por lo menos standard.
