about

On January 31st, 2020, M!R!M will release their third full-length, The Visionary, out on Avant!Records.

Still featuring Jack Milwaukee at the helm along with selected collaborators as supplementation, 'The Visionary' is a further evolution in M!R!M sound, which showcases how the musician’s vision has evolved throughout the years.

As with every M!R!M album, Milwaukee sticks to his magic formula: writing and recording everything you hear in his bedroom in east London.

‘’Within these walls I cherish all my hopes and face all my fears. This room knows me best, there’s no other place where I could feel more comfortable and focused..’’, Milwaukee explains.

Holding firmly to the vibes that recall the most dreaming 80’s, Jack Milwaukee this time blends together that typical FM synth timbre, which has always characterized the artist, with deeper and sumptuous sounds found within the notes of Mellotron and sax; overcoming previous Lo-Fi approaches to undertake a solid, prominent and more mature path.

The Visionary is a collection of songs pieced together in a meaningful and harmonious way where the storytelling is very vivid and fundamental. Trapped between hope and melancholy each track evolves smoothly into another one until it gets to a mystical end, a point of no return. From syncopated punchy bass lines drove by solid drum beats to elegant violin quartets accompanied by almost religious choirs, The Visionary is an engaging work that doesn’t remain only inside the robes of shimmering synth-pop tunes but also explores more intimate and private territories as an ode to the most deep feelings.

Pulling from the ‘pop' approach of mid 80's synth-pop pioneers like New Order, The Wake, Tears for Fears to most iconic figures of the Italian 80’s era, M!R!M dialed in on a clear understanding of its own specific sound, which has since evolved.

The Visionary is the ultimate unified vision of M!R!M’s work, it’s the sweetest transition of the most nostalgic daydream.

Milwaukee says about the album: “The record comes out of experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil caused by the loss of my best friend at the end of 2017 and wanting to create something that could pay tribute to her and to our friendship. The Visionary is the manifesto of those who decided to be not afraid of being different despite people’s judgment because being yourself always and in any case is the most important thing.”

Track Name: Survive
This world is turning into something real
Leaving no time for us to heal
Tell me what you know, tell me what you really feel
I was even born to kill
But now I am gonna fight to not be killed

Time to survive
We will never die, we will never die
Hide by my side
And we’ll leave this world behind

Tell me what you know, tell me what you really feel
I was even born to kill
But now I am gonna fight to not be killed

{ Time to survive
We will never die, we will never die
Hide by my side
And we’ll leave this world behind } x2

Take me away tonight
Take me away tonight
Take me away tonight
Take me away
Take me away...
Track Name: Another Life Another Time ( Feat. Kat Day )
Since the time you were gone
You left my heart full of nothing
There’s nothing that can be done
I miss you friend so much I’m dying
I’m feeling that I could be wrong
(There’s nothing I can do about it) (x3)

See you in another life another time (x2)

{ I missed you
Many times before
Many times before } (x2)

{ See you in another life another time
See you in another life another time } (x2)
Track Name: Superstitions
There is something you should know
I’ve been hiding my frustrations
Contemplating the worst emotions
It takes a long time to find the best solution

But there is something you should know
I am wondering, is this love a superstition?
There’s no time to think right now
What matters, they told us to keep running

They told us to keep running (x2)
Track Name: Crystal Cave
There is something I had to say when you were with me last night
I can feel the pain you have it’s hiding really inside
There’s a crystal cave in both of us, don’t you know?
And I don’t understand if should I stay or should I go

Let me hide that fucking pain inside my little crystal cave (x2)

I can feel the pain tonight (x10)
Track Name: Adolescent
I don’t know
If I can detest you
You made me feel
That you never cared about me

And I don’t know
If you ever (ever) said
What you feel
And what you felt

Cause you never cared (x2)

{ Hey you!
You never cared about me! } (x3)
Hey you!
Why you never cared about me?

{ How does it feel?
How does it feel?
How does it feel to fall in love with me? } (x3)
Track Name: ACLUC
( Instrumental )
Track Name: Crucifix And Roses
I have never ever been ashamed of myself through these dirty days
It has never been so hard, my heart one day will fall apart
It will never be the same
Forget all your stupid prayers
I am already crucified
But I promise you I never die

Never die
I will never die

I know, you’re gone
But I am ready for the glorious crucifixion
They will witness, what it means to be alive and dead inside
I’ll resist

Again, again, again...

I will never die...
( Cause I will never die... )
Track Name: Not The People
There’s nothing to be worried
Although it happened before
Are you really saying something?
It’s too late the damage is done

Was it really out of nothing?
Cause you never let me know
Are you really saying something?
Do they really wanna know?

But anyway
You never liked it when they said
You’re not ok
You never let me really know
You never really say
You never made complaints
You always made them stay
But you never, you never, you never liked them anyway

{ You never, you never, you never liked them anyway } (x4)
Track Name: Testament
Walking down the street late at night
Thinking what to say and what to write
I left a testament, it’s about the solitude you left
I am telling you I have left a testament, for you

Did you wonder how I felt last night?
Cause I have thought about it
It wasn’t right
So I have to tell you this

When love is lost
But dreams keep living
I would like to know if you can still hear me
I never knew what’s love meaning
I’ll find out if I keep swimming

{ My woman
This is a testament for you } (x4)

Don’t know how I feel (x8)

{ My woman
This is a testament for you } (x2)

Do you ever ( feel the same )?...
Track Name: The Mercury Girl
She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or maybe forever
I call her a mercury girl

She's building me up and then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl

She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl

One day once when I've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers and I missed the mercury girl

She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me but it could have been lies
And life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl

Life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl

She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl

She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or maybe forever
I call her a mercury girl

She's building me up and then she’s knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl

And I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl

Life with a mercury girl (x4)
Track Name: The Visionary
You and I
Have left behind
So many times
Memories of love

But I will try
I never lied
I saw you cry, I never let it go

I see you...
