  In November 2019, when Mercury Rev performed at the Levitation Festival, they were riding the momentum from their 2019 album, "The Delta Sweete Revisited," a tribute to the music of Gordy and The Delta Sweete by Annette Peacock, released in March that same year. This album featured reinterpretations of classic tracks, showcasing the band’s evolution into a more experimental, orchestral sound, while maintaining their psychedelic roots. Notably, their live performance of "Holes" at the festival exemplifies their ability to blend intricate instrumentation with ethereal vocals, which has been a hallmark of their artistry. The festival itself is significant in the Austin music scene, drawing attention to the rich musical heritage of the city, further establishing Mercury Rev as a vital part of contemporary independent music. Their performance at such a prestigious event reflects their ongoing influence and the enduring appeal of their unique sound.
