Merge Records: 25 Years in 24 Minutes offers a breezy yet insightful look at the indie label that shaped a chunk of the 90s and beyond. It has this raw energy and authenticity, much like the artists it represents. The documentary is sprightly paced, cramming a lot of history and anecdotes into a short runtime. You get snippets of interviews, some vintage footage, and a glimpse into the label’s evolution. It’s not just a love letter to Merge but also a testament to DIY culture in music. The absence of a single director adds to its collage-like feel, making it feel more like a community scrapbook than a polished feature, which is kind of refreshing.
