Mountain Landis Record Label is proud to announce the release of "Felluponstone,"
the second release from Brooklyn-based band The Shot Heard 'Round the World.
Recorded in Connecticut in 2007 by Rob Christiansen (of Teenbeat notoriety), the
album marks a shift in direction for the band, whose first album, "Ten Songs for Town &
Country" garnered critical acclaim for its lush harmonies, hazy, wistful reflection, and
60's restlessness. "Felluponstone" takes that groundwork and moves it in a new direction,
with more prominent guitar and "crazier rhythms."
The band as it appears on the record includes Alex Farrill (ex-Dirty Projectors) on guitar,
Brian House (Multitudes) on bass, Tim Bean on guitar, and Rob Christiansen (Sisterhood
of Convoluted Thinkers, Eggs) on drums.
