Six years after releasing Deserter's Songs, Mercury Rev return with a new album, The Secret Migration, and a Dublin date at Vicar St. on March 7.

If you can't wait 'til the New Year for a fix, fear not, because the Americans are releasing 'Secret For A Song' as a downloadable single on November 7. The tune costs £1stg from www.mercuryrev.com and finds the band picking up pretty much where they left off in 1998.

Tickets priced €31.50 go on sale on Wednesday November 10.
