Mountain Time

Music For Looking Animals

$9.99

In the aftermath of the dissolution of adored emo / indie rock bands Mineral and The Gloria Record, songwriter Chris Simpson took a step back from making music for the first time since his mid-teens. And it was during this period where an affinity for the music of the 1960s and ‘70s such as Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Harry Nilsson, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground and many more, along with the freedom and expression of jazz and artists who radically followed their own vision, took root. With additional inspiration drawn from the arenas of psychology and eastern philosophy, the beauty of the natural world, Simpson’s children and wife, old Time Life books, and the self-stated immenseness of the universe, Mountain Time has become almost more of a state-of-mind than a moniker.

“'Rosemary, Etc.’ reflects Simpson’s deep dive into Sixties and Seventies music ... It is a bustling tune that finds Simpson arranging a pastoral mix of horns, twinkling guitars and choral vocals around a steady acoustic strum and percussion stomp.” – Rolling Stone

“'Rosemary, Etc.' is a brass-laden folk-rock sway seasoned with Simpson’s
alt-rock pedigree." – Stereogum

“Simpson’s lyrics are searching and vivid … ‘Empty Graves’ is a meticulously
arranged indie folk number that pairs his haunting poetry with lilting
instrumentals.” – American Songwriter
