This Autumn, we’ve got a new label we’ll be manufacturing and distributing — a mysterious little imprint called Language of Stone. We can’t tell you too much about it — but if you like music of the people, by the people and for the people; if you like the sounds of real instruments (like the odd synthesizer); if you’re into traditional songs played by bands with names like Mountain Home and Orion Rigel Dommisse, then you’re gonna totally dig Language of Stone.Not everyone dreams of a Mountain Home, which is good, because if they did there’d be no real hope for those of us who actually need one. Of course, many folks who pine for a solitary life amidst the elements find themselves far removed from the requirements to make such a lifestyle immediately possible. That’s where a band like Mountain Home come in. And not just them, but the host of musicians, promoters, publications, venues and enthusiasts that have cropped up over the past ten years or so to champion a musical array that supports an overall cultural reorientation. Besides such crushingly poetic offerings as “The Sparrow,” Mountain Home promulgate an earthen visage and wooden sound capable of bleeding sap into the veins of city dwellers and suburban refugees the world over. Back To The Land works as much as inspiration as actualization, and Mountain Home sing the gospel soundly.
