These Mountains LP's are gonna go super fast if Choral was anything to go by.. That one wasn't even limited but there's only the thousand copies of Etching - unique, hand-stamped sleeve, MP3 download code and all. Apparently these two blissful tracks were recorded in real time, without overdubs, and intended to represent the sort of stuff the pair of them do live. If it's anything to go by they'll be well worth seeing when they hit your town if you fancy a civilised evening of pretty ambient drone. It'll be like having a babbling brook in your ears for a couple of hours, throw in a head massage and you'll be laughing.Etching is limited to 1,000 copies and comes in a hand-stamped LP jacket. Included is a free MP3 download coupon! Each jacket is completely unique!
To follow up the release of their highly acclaimed album Choral, Mountains is please to present Etching. Before embarking on tour earlier this year Mountains recorded Etching at Brendon’s studio in real time with no overdubs. The band then sold the music on that tour as a limited edition CDr with hand-stamped sleeves. The music on Etching parallels the live sets the band performed on that tour. To translate the recording to the vinyl format the band re-sequenced the recordings to fit more appropriately on the LP.
