Out on the slope... I hear bells jingle... Board cuts the snow... Lights jangle... There's orange lights and ornament lights... All hanging on a fence somewhere... They tell me to hold on to something I know was never there... It's surreal... And I don't use that word often... Do you feel.... higher than the mountain? It's uncanny.... any way you look at it... It used to snow... I would put out my tongue... And catch them falling one by one... I'd slip away for a while... We used to do that...

All Is Lost 06:28
I see no corners "Where are the walls?" Always hard to grasp You see one, have you seen them all? Well you just had to ask, "When I tug on your cloak do I slow you down?" I'd hold on tightly I wouldn't let go The light from a star is so fine I know where we are I been this way a couple of times Trust me, I got this Trust me, you once did The light from a star is so fine Pushes back the dark And there's places you'll find Whoosh whoopie, whack to whizzo These are the sounds I've grown to know And the colors I've seen belong in a dream No chance, no way, I won't say it No chance, no way, I won't say I'm in love Thistle... Thickets glisten... Quiet now listen... They're hovering above you We are the one We are the seer We hold the vision We are the believer To carry that light when darkness swallows They're hovering above you

I'm a romancing coaster A head, I ain't got one I'll build a slip and slide Side to side in your mind. Old hidden treasure maps Of the Rio Grande Would you ever take a chance? On an adventure safari In Sais An ancient city by the Nile Delta I met the goddess Neith And under Neith The bodies of water The tide is low for now... Hunters are just poaching time... They'll reap the seeds they've sown... Underneath the ground... They'll find a home... There are... Certain steps.. I'll take... To change my mannish ways... Underneath the seafoam you'll find two tones... They spend their days slaving over ancient cryptic tomes... But underneath night sky by fire... One tone... The soul of Hidalgo spoke six words... Left me in a trance... On adventure safari you will dance...

about

"The best and most suitable description is decadent lo-fi: Decadent because keyboardist/vocalist Bruce Wilson's drawl is reminiscent of the dark and brooding men who fronted hedonistic 1980s pop and new-wave acts; and lo-fi because it sounds like the band gathered in a warehouse around a Fisher-Price cassette player and pressed "record." The result is a mysterious, gorgeous exploration of isolation, memory and life in the mountains.

The Mountain Carol is a haunting, confounding plunge into the mind of a curious and enigmatic singer-songwriter. Conceptually uncluttered and with a cohesive sonic palette, it's a strong debut. "

- Jordan Adams, SevenDays

"The music this trio produces is chill, low-fi — indie with a twinge of ‘80s alt-pop throwback buried beneath the surface.

Instead of drawing attention to itself, the music on this new EP has a unique quality — the droning drumbeat and mumbled, wispy vocals lull the listener into a dream-like, introspective state."

- Elizabeth Izzo, The Sun
