Lament

Bastard Mountain are: Pete Harvey & Neil Pennycook from Meursault, Jill O’Sullivan from Sparrow & the Workshop, Rob St. John from eagleowl & Meursault, Rory Sutherland from Broken Records & Reuben Taylor from James Yorkston & the Athletes.

Farewell, Bastard Mountain was recorded in October 2012. Jill, Neil and Rob each brought three songs, one to sing themselves, and one each for the other two vocalists to sing. Over the course of a week the group wrote and recorded music to go with these new versions, the result of which is Farewell, Bastard Mountain.

It's a record full of drones and textures, but not as dark and oppressive as that might lead you to imagine. Instead, the semi-improvised nature, live recording and playfulness of the album gives the record a real lightness and sense of unity, to the extent that the vinyl has been pressed without any track breaks at all, as it all just fits seamlessly together as a single piece of work.

This approach to collaborative music was inspired by the Cold Seeds album we did several years ago with Animal Magic Tricks, King Creosote and Meursault. That album was more ad-hoc, there was no real plan for how it was going to happen, the music was almost entirely improvised and it all sort of fell together by happy accident.

This time around we wanted to reproduce that level of experimentation and excitement, but once the musicians got together it turned into something more like a conventional band. They may not have had much time, but they still rehearsed everything a little and then recorded the bulk of each song live, playing off each other to mitigate the uncertainty of trying to record a song they’d only learned a couple of hours ago.

The results are absolutely beautiful, with new takes on older songs as well as new and previously unheard tunes by all three main songwriters, as well as a first ever officially released song by Rory Sutherland which we all liked so much we’re pushing him to write a solo record as soon as possible.

John is a homeless. 
John is a priest.
John is a witness.
John is a beast. 
John is a weirdo. 
John is a thief. 
John is a wino. 
Listen, bleed, weep.

Owl John - Hate Music

Ode To 'Gremlin

This sanctuary cannot be your home
so take comfort in this shelter before it's gone.

But what if morning cannot shake this thought?
What if the sun cannot dispel this feeling I have got?
How will I carry on?

Oh, the wind will blow
all the drowned aboard
for that final push
to that golden shore
and there will be no rest
and we will get to where we are going.

When we can go no further
and our hands are sore
from collecting the pieces
of the glass that broke
that once framed a picture
of some distant shore
we called home.

I know that the last thing the world needs now
is another song about the fucking sea.

But as you know I am heartbroken
and there is more of it than there is of me.

(For Cammy)

~ Lyrics

Careful as you tread
The ground is wet, the hills are steep ahead
As timeless stories of lovers ease your mind
For A Minute or so

And watch as the fog begins to fall
Follow the sparrow as he goes

Here you are alone
Happy now with just the light on the stones
And in the morning you will be right home
For a minute or so

And watch as the fog begins to fall
Follow the sparrow as he goes 

And so The Bluestack calls 
And you will sit right here until the dawn

For a Minute

📝 Lyrics:

This tale moves quickly in the night
It drags all the dirt I've left behind
These steps they are small and unprepared 
For the remnants of a thought
Once past and now long since forgot 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear 

It seems like forever and more
But it's closer than you have ever known
As I pull away the floor beneath my feat
I am broken at the seems 
So I'll stay and take all that I need 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear
