Ours Week: Day 1 "Mercy"

(antiMusic) Jimmy Gnecco is probably music's best kept secret. A simply amazing singer and songwriter. But that secret is about to be broken with the release of 'Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy,' this week on Columbia records. If you know his name already then you know Jimmy is the frontman for Ours, who released two incredible records for DreamWorks records. This third album has been a long time in the making but with Rick Rubin behind the knobs, the result is well worth the wait. Rubin loved that end result so much that he signed the band to his American/Columbia Record label. We are beyond proud to speak with Jimmy this week as he tells us a bit about some of his favorites songs on the album. Plus the label wanted you to hear each song, so they have provided streams for all of them! Because hearing is believing after all. Here is Jimmy with today's song: "MERCY is the first track on our new record. This is a song that I had originally written in 1990 or 91. It was called Ours, and kind of where I got the idea for the band's name. We hadn't played it for a long time, but Pit kept asking me to work on it again so I did. This is the result." - The album is in stores on Tuesday, but you can listen to this song right here
