How could we pass up reviewing a record from a band called
SPACE MOUNTAIN? This Connecticut band’s name says it all and fits comfortably
on the ledge of a rock mountain reaching towards the stars. I am getting a noteworthy
early-90s indie vibe from these lovely lads on their first release. There is a
love for the lo-fi and the jangly riffs that dominated college radio stations
20 years ago. Best of all, the record never takes itself too serious, allowing
the group to let it all hang out and enjoy some sloppy jamming. Just listen to
the standout track “There U Are” to get a sense of what I mean with its mumbled,
half-drunken vocal delivery and whistle-backed harmony. This stuff should make
you want to pull out your 4-track and Pavement records and pound away to your
heart’s content.
