About Me
Mt. Moon is built on honesty, a mutual passion for songwriting, and a deep-set internal love for singing together. We are looking to play shows anywhere and everywhere this summer, so if you are interested just let us know and chances are we'll be there (most of us work at K-mart).
THE CATALOGUE:
BLESS THOSE SLEEPY SLEEPY LIGHTS- $5The premier Mt. Moon release. Korg four-track production embellished with Cubase VST, for sixteen track fidelity. An epic shoegaze/drone-out rendition of "Waltz", the original minimal campfire-style take of "She Hears What She Cannot See", two release-specific theme pieces, the original alt country roots recording of "The Worm To The Robin", and the Sam Cooke/Roy Orbison-meets-funereal-organ-tunes arrangement for "Massive Moth, My Dreamfield". All in all, a nocturnal tape suite intended for babies (albeit open-minded babies) to fall asleep to. Hand-painted/drawn cover and liner notes.
LIVE 06/04/2008 + 06/20/2008- $5The first and third Mt. Moon performances, recorded live on location. Firstly, The Waterfall Arts Center set is a hushed, vocal-centric, singalong style showcase of eight songs. Layered voices, early spare harmony parts, rural folk instrumentation (banjo, mandolin, xylophone, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, casio organs). Second, The Solidarity Center set (you can preview it above) is a proud seven-person-band batch of chamber arrangements for five songs, including work on viola, violin, and trumpet. "Waltz" becomes laced with string swells and a ceremonial, mourning vibe. "The Worm To The Robin" is realized as a traveling bluegrass band's slow-burning confessional epic. A refraining melodic prayer is attached to the end of "She Hears What She Cannot See" to make for a massive, monstrous, ferocious, and celebratory ender. Handmade cover, beautiful first-grade reminiscent red construction paper partially open-ended sleeve.
LIVE ON THE AIR AT WRFR 07/22/2008- free download(DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?el0dygbsfom). Mt. Moon's radio session on Jo and Cheech's Radio Hour on WRFR in Rockland! Included are at least ten or so minutes of interviews and behind-the-scenes tales of process and inspiration (ooh la la la la), an extended fresh Peter Pan-sounding whimsical take of "Only 33", an acoustic layered reading of "Massive Moth", the usual epic take of "Worm To The Robin" but this time stripped to guitars and trumpet, a one-off solo Jakob Ian Mayer Battick cover of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love", and a Zach Brown-conceived concluding funeral-celebration-style arrangement of "She Hears What She Cannot See" driven by organ and propulsive percussion.
