Psychedelic like a slightly morphed version of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, or maybe just Jimi Hendrix with a slower heart rate and a heavier drum beat. Mt Mountain are still grungy in a jamming in the garage kind of way but maintain a certain level of sophistication at the same time with their spacey melodies and instrumental layering. Mt. Mountain are quickly following the talent trend coming out of Perth and joining the likes of Tame Impala, Megan Washington and Loston by making it big on a national stage.
Deep, clean psych for people too stoned to stand up, Mt Mountain are yet another amazing band from Perth.
The 5 piece Perth outfit was formed mid- 2012 and consists of Stephen Bailey on vocals, Brendan Shanley on bass, Derrick Treatch and Glenn Palmer rocking the guitars and Thomas Cahill on drums.
Their incredibly well received demo Omed, released earlier this year, led to International support shows with OM, Bardo Pond and Isaiah Mitchell touring throughout Australia and a nomination for WAM (Western Australia’s peak music body) breakthrough act for 2013. Following this success their first released single off their new EP She Runs, was released earlier this month and demonstrates a slightly heavier genre of rock than seen in their demo and their live youtube recordings, but none the less conserves their individual mix of dream like riffs and traditional rock bass lines.
Mt. Mountain are set to play at the infamous Perth festival In the Pines on Sunday the 20th of April.
