The hotly anticipated third album from Oh Mercy, Deep Heat, is certainly not what you will be expecting. Alexander explains "I wanted to explore the effect of groove in songs that I had written very simply in a 'singer songwriter' fashion on the piano. To craft a song with passion and fervor and then see if I could then not take the typical singer songwriter approach to the recording." Oh Mercy moved into The Family Farm studio in Portland, Oregon to begin recording with Producer Burke Reid. “Burke has made my favourite Australian albums of the last five years. Including Jack Ladder's 'Hurtsville' & The Drones ‘Havilah’. He works with bands to make the album the bands want to make. Burke helped me realise my pre-conceived conceptual approach to the album and encouraged me to push past the comfort zones I had recorded music within in the past."
