“The Anybody” – CD Release – March 31st at The Cajun Attic
The Anybody is an Ottawa-based indie rock project lead by musician, singer and songwriting troubadour Connor Mercury. The Anybody has recorded and produced its’ own songs for more than 4 years. Before even reaching his twenty-something years, Connor amassed a devoted following. He usually plays alone but occasionally is joined on stage by a variety of musicians.
Connor’s musical meanderings incorporate shoegaze, country, psychedelic rock and even techno. His work is profoundly influenced by the world around him as well as indie sounds from artists like Elliott Smith, Pavement, Wilco and even David Bowie. Connor’s poignant stories and experiences are woven throughout his words while his music comes straight from his heart. The Anybody’s first release, a six-song, self-titled CD that showcases Connor’s gift for crafty song writing and features a minimalist approach to song production.
The Anybody’s second release Let it Damn Well Hurt, is a self produced collection of Connor Mercury’s songs, chronicling six months of living in a dingy basement apartment – the building eventually burned to the ground. Connor plays all the instruments on this work, and what results is a distinct sound that captures his passion for music through upbeat numbers like San Francisco and quiet moments of introspection found in Car Crash.
