Mountain Spring Music was born from the collaboration of two great friends across the ocean. They've spent the last 7 years blurring the boundaries of time and borders, using the cloud and video conferencing to remove distance.

Seth is a songwriter who clearly takes his cues from Dylan and his words sound like a modern version of something ancient.
Tomer (Sally T.) is a bass player, sound experimenter and producer & studio engineer who's studio is a laboratory featuring the Tree of Mic.

The two met in Israel at a festival of attended by people from over 70 countries who came together to workshop and talk about how to connect hearts about all differences. Kindred spirits from the start, they began collaborating within a month. 

Throwing all conventions out the window they began searching for a sound. It would take 7 years for them to settle into that sound. During the process, they invited a broad spectrum of musicians to join their songs. On their first 13 collaborations, they worked with 60 musicians from around the globe. Developing a way to pass tracks in the cloud around the world and build songs virtually.

Between 2016-2017 they picked some of these collaborators to put together a rock set and took it on the road. The audiences loved the chemistry, the humor, the depth of lyrics and connection of the band with each other and the intimacy with the audience. This process transformed the direction of the band and MSM set out to capture this sound on their debut album.

Formed in a little cabin in the Catskills just north of NYC in the winter of 2011, Los Thujones (THEw-HO-NEZ) is a group of musicians devoted to the idea that music should be fun and real.  Their sound harkens back to times when music was played by musicians sitting together in one room in one moment.  Featuring odd arrangements of ukuleles, mandolins, upright basses, trombones, harmonicas, over crazy beats...  Ska, reggae, folk, neo folk, or whatever you want to call them...  Los Thujones play with a gusto, intelligence, and passion so absent in the music of today and their live shows are not to be missed.  Check it out.  Download it for your car rides or subway trips or whatever you do.  You will like it.

The name refers to Thujone, the chemical in absynthe that was falsely thought to have a psychoactive affect on humans and therefore deemed illegal.  It is still illegal to this day for no good reason at all - like so many different things in our topsy-turvy modern world.  

Futureface has returned from humanity's imminent self-destruction to give a warning that we will only survive the turbulence of our times by generating maximum love and connection from this moment forward.
