Mountain Mirrors Launches Supernatural Dreadnought Voyage
Twisted acoustic rock band from the woods of Massachusetts releases third full-length CD entitled "Dreadnought".
(PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- Massachusetts acoustic rock band Mountain Mirrors has released a new album of psychedelic spiritual sound called "Dreadnought".
Dreadnought is Mountain Mirrors' (aka Jeff Sanders) third full-length release - the follow-up to 2006's self-titled Mountain Mirrors LP. Mountain Mirrors earned Sanders a following based on his interaction with fans - and on the viral success of Mountain Mirrors MP3s - most notably a progressive, dark sci-fi track called "The Demon's Eye".
Says Sanders of the new release, "It's still got that dark acoustic sound. But the new album has much more variety. And where the vibes on the self-titled LP were pretty bleak, this one's got a little more spirit...more grooves. There are tracks that are mellower, and others are much heavier than before. Especially for acoustic music."
Hailing from Massachusetts, Sanders grew up listening to the heavy metal of Anthrax and Metallica, but later became entranced by the acoustic sensitivities of artists like Beck and Damien Rice. By resisting the temptation to showcase this music with the standard heavy electric instrumentation, the introspective lyrics, rhythmic nuances and "ear candy" are given more space: this is an artist who wants a sincere and direct connection with his listeners.
Just like its sound, the draw of Mountain Mirrors is multifaceted. An acoustic-rock album, Dreadnought will appeal to fans of metal, psychedelic rock and folk music (sort of like Nick Drake meets a more psychedelic Alice In Chains).
The Mountain Mirrors sound is heavily influenced by nature and most songs were originally conceived and written in the Massachusetts woodlands. To mirror the vibe and space of the outdoors and enhance the reflective nature of the lyrics and sound, the production on Dreadnought is created especially for headphone listening (iPods, Sandisks etc.).
A physical Dreadnought CD with full artwork by Jeff Gaither is now available at the official Mountain Mirrors website ( http://www.mountainmirrors.com ). CD Baby will also carry the cd and handle all digital distribution to iTunes, Rhapsody and other major digital online stores.
Says the Ripple Effect about Mountain Mirrors, "Imagine if you will, walking through a forest that's enshrouded in dense fog. Visibility is only a few hundred feet in any direction. Moisture glistening off of the surrounding foliage as your breath bellows from your mouth in a cloud of steam. The crunch of leaves and decay under every footstep being the only sound to accompany the animal-like howl of the wind. Kinda' creepy out here all alone, huh? That's the power of Mountain Mirrors."
