Slow Season - Mountains to be officially released on 11th November 2014
Press "play" on Slow Season's second full-length album Mountains (RidingEasy 
Records), and you might just forget what era you're in. It could very well be the 
sixties, seventies, or now. It almost doesn't matter though because this is 
hypnotic, heavy, and howling rock 'n' roll that defies both musical and temporal 
categorization.
The Central California quartet – Daniel Rice (vocals, guitar), David Kent (guitar), 
Hayden Doyel (bass), and Cody Tarbell (drums) – scale new heights, while 
recognising where it all began.
"I'd love for people to wonder if this record is actually from 1969," grins Cody. "We 
wanted to capture that spirit. That was the goal."
In order to do so, the musicians holed up in Cody's home studio, which actually 
doubles as his parents' garage, and cut Mountain’s ten tracks throughout the 
course of early 2014. Hayden had just returned home from a short detour at 
college in Idaho before recognizing he belonged jamming with his brothers. 
Officially back in the fold, excitement to record proved pervasive. Moving when inspiration struck, they actually recorded the songs live on reel-to-reel tape. 
Eschewing the digital mindset of today and not even uttering the words "Pro 
Tools", everything was caught on analog, giving the music a crackling kinetic 
energy.
"I like everything associated with reel-to-reel," Cody goes on. "I love the sound. I 
like the mojo that comes along with it."
"Working with the limitations of tape really pushed us to play our best," adds 
Daniel. "You have to prioritize your ideas. You can't layer too much on there. You 
also have to nail the takes. You don't get to go back and cut paste. You have to feel 
it when you're playing it. When everything comes together, it really shines because 
we're all playing together on tape."
They lock in during the album opener and first single, ‘Sixty-Eight’. It snaps into a 
bluesy riff and bombastic beat before Daniel lets out a soaring refrain and a 
screeching solo roars. "We wanted to nod back to Led Zeppelin," the vocalist says. 
"We managed to get this really big sound in the garage. It's very organic and 
natural. The subject matter is pretty gnarly, and I'd encourage everyone to take a 
close listen to the lyrics."
That mystique carries over to the hazy ‘Synanon’, which details the exploits of a 
mountain cult nearby where the boys reside. Meanwhile, ‘Endless Mountain’ drives 
forward on robust guitars and propulsive drums. It also reflects the overarching 
theme inherent within the title.
"Mountains embody a few things," explains Daniel. "They're difficult, seemingly 
insurmountable, and bigger than us. They're both foreboding and beautiful at the 
same time. I had been doing a lot of hiking and backpacking in the higher Sierra 
Nevada. It all fit together. We live right next to Sequoia National Park, and we go 
up there all the time. We connect with the idea of man versus nature."
Slow Season first emerged in 2012 with their self-titled debut. Supported by shows 
throughout California and nationally, they began to garner palpable buzz. 
Now, Mountains kicks off their next chapter. However, they'll continue to exist 
within an epoch of their own.
Daniel leaves off, "I want people to walk away knowing there's integrity behind the 
music, the process, the words being sung, and the notes being played. We love 
what we do, and we hope that listeners do too."
Mountains by Slow Season will be officially released on 11th November 2014 via 
RidingEasy Records.
