Mercury is the first full-length and currently the only studio album by the British indie rock band Longview. It was first released in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2003 by 14th Floor Records, and in the United States on 15 March 2005 by Columbia Records. "Further", "When You Sleep" and "Nowhere" were issued as singles by their first independent label 4:45 Recordings; "Further" and "When You Sleep" were subsequently reissued alongside other songs from the album as singles when the band signed with 14th Floor Records. A collection of remixes entitled Subversions, featuring remixes by Jacknife Lee, Elbow, Mogwai, Andy Votel and Ulrich Schnauss, was released in 2004 and included as a bonus disc with a reissue of the album on 31 January 2005.
