Allison Graves is a 20 year old singer, songwriter and naturalist from New England who has created a powerful, breathy debut that sounds aged and well loved, like an old home, with dogs barking in the background and kids playing in the yard. Allison Graves' rich sense of melody and harmony underscores the depth of the work. 

Written and recorded across six months and two coasts, with a secondhand guitar and a broken laptop, I Still Look For The Mountains draws inspiration from many wells including Adrianne Lenker and Bon Iver. As if Graves' debut was a long lost reissue from Joe Boyd's Witchseason catalog, this album is also reminiscent of Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan. Highly recommended to Imprec fans of Kurt Weisman, Diane Cluck, Kimya Dawson, Asa Irons/Swaan Miller. 

Opening with a brassy modular synth sequence and layered vocals, Allison Graves immediately establishes a vibe ever-present throughout I Still Look For The Mountain's duration.  Graves' songwriting pins down big, all-encompassing feelings and experiences that follow us all through our lives, and to tries and make sense of the profoundly unexplainable joys and sorrows of human existence. 

This CDR edition is limited to 100 copies with a label hand drawn by Allison Graves. A CD/LP edition will be available later this year.
