Last month, Nate Mercereau announced his new album Fantastic Thoughts, and shared the album’s radiant and jubilant title track. Described by Mercereau as “Active New Reality Progressive Fusion”, the record is a wild meeting point of progressive rock, jazz fusion, electronic experimentation and improvisation, with influences ranging from Yes, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jimi Hendrix to Robert Fripp, Jon Hassell, Squarepusher and Pat Metheny.

Following that first taste he has now shared the euphoric and propulsive ‘Accelerator’, yet another reason to be excited about Fantastic Thoughts. Speaking about it, Mercereau says:

 “music IS a Possible Reality Accelerator, I can go into ideas and feelings beyond words with music. I can go anywhere at any time. The rhythms, chords, melodies and self-samples in this music are Accelerators into the transcendent reality of the most radiant thoughts and feelings.”

Listen to ‘Accelerator’ below and grab the album when it’s out on September 11th through Leaving Records.
