cactus-mouth: Trace Mountains // “Salty/Sweet” Oh, Dave....

Trace Mountains // “Salty/Sweet”

Oh, Dave. Ohhhh, Dave. Dave Benton. Dave Benton who also plays in LVL UP and Spook Houses. That Dave. He’s killing me.

In addition to the aforementioned bands, Dave also runs passionate New York indie label Double Double Whammy. So he’s a busy guy. Somewhere along the lines though he found time to steal away and record some solo material under the name Trace Mountains. Though only two of the tracks have surfaced so far, they are excellent. Sticking to the acoustic guitar and hushed vocals, the songs can be summed up in one word: bittersweet. In other words it’s the kind of music that makes you happy and sad at the same time, but you can’t exactly put into words why. So I’m not going to try.

PS - Is that someone playing the saw at the end of “Salty/Sweet”? Please tell me that’s someone playing the saw.

PPS - Dave also said that these tracks are going to be seeing some form of release on Double Double Whammy in the future. So there’s that to look forward to.

Face it, DOUBLE DOUNLE WHAMMY, I’m just going to review and love everything you put out.

Well, I’m kiiiiiiind of sure this is Colin from Spook Houses, although I can’t be sure. Whoever it is- fantastic job. Bedroom Folk never ceases to make me happy. I was enthralled by the first chorus in…

juliabrown09:

Pitchfork/Jayson Greene reviewed our debut “To be close to you” and gave us probably the most wonderful review i’ve ever read about any music i’ve been part of.

thanks everyone who’s supported us, this is a very cool thing for me just as someone who has read pitchfork pretty much religiously since i was in highschool. i still love the site & it’d be an honor even to get a bad review on it, so this is a really great surprise.

The sweetly unassuming kind of home-made pop music that Julia Brown make is easily overlooked when it is untethered from its home base; so much of indie-pop’s magic resides in its locality, and in the connections forged by flyers, 7-inches, and shows. In their Baltimore stomping grounds, Julia Brown seem like they’re a big deal. In the great sea of the internet, where one small bauble after another can be plucked and cast back just as quickly, this stuff can have a harder time standing apart. But To Be Close to You rewards any undivided attention you are willing to give it. Ray’s gift is as substantial as his touch is light, and at its best To Be Close to You hearkens back to the spirit of some of the broken-hearted, scrofulous sweeties of the Pacific Northwest during the 90s: Elliott Smith, for instance, or Modest Mouse during their K Records years. Ray indicated recently that he had hit the limits of lo-fi recording techniques, and was looking to expand outward: His vision seems big enough to accomodate whatever canvas he works on next.

our friends julia brown over at birdtapes got this awesome review on pitchfork! way to go guys!

spookynineties:

I remembered you last night while I slept
In the backseat of the car where I sank my face into his fur,
and I wept.

Tonight I walked along underneath the lights
that flooded my windows and coaxed me up;
rubbed the sleep out my eyes.
