what

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.

Bastard Mountain - Meadow Ghosts

Taken from the album Paperback Ghosts, Comet Gain’s new single “'Sad Love' and Other Short Stories” is a classic upbeat indiepop tune, brimming with melody and slathered in chiming Byrdsian guitars. Over yearning harmonies and keening strings songwriter David Feck muses on a love left behind and what might have been, on a life haunted by memories of unrequited romance.

Comet Gain - "Sad Love" And Other Short Stories

Lyrics: 

Old man said to the younger one there, “The sun still shines on my Ontario morning.”
He said this through a dramatic leak of tone, to say a vital link has died, is gone.
Self-control is a vice from the plays and history and I will sooner then take all back.
Old man said to the younger one there, “The sun still shines on my Ontario morning.”
Constant confirmation of comprehension.
Newspeak is the thrill. (x2)
Stories I’ve said haven’t been very fun, but why’d you still laugh hard? Your manners impeccable.
Young man said to the older one there, “The sun still sets on my Ontario Morning.”
Constant confirmation of comprehension.
Newspeak is the thrill. (x2)
Constant confirmation of comprehension.
Newspeak is the thrill. (x2)

On their most refined and ruefully elegant album, Gun Outfit perfect their incandescent sonic signature: a dusky, canyon-cult blues fueled by melodic dual-guitar weaving and seductive male/female incantations at zero hour. It’s the nocturnal sound of desert-damaged L.A. burnout, a soured American surrealism in rock and roll creole: white line fever, paint fume flashbacks, a stranger wading out alone into the black surf.

Вы подходите слишком близко 
Говорите грудным, низким 
Мне кажется, это риск 
Избегаю ваших глаз и пальцев 
Мне не тонкой страшно сломаться 
Мне так страшно вам поддаться 
или не поддаться 

Страсти страшен обрыв 
Для меня и для вашей гордости 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Разорвет на куски нас 
Мы друг другом растерзаны 
Не бросайте меня в эту безду 
Не бросайте в эту безду 

Я дышу глубоко, как едва не повешенный 
Не бросайте меня в страсти бешеные, 
будьте бережны 
Мысли спутаны, речь несвязная 
Вы из меня выберетесь, а я увязну 
а я увязну 

Страсти страшен обрыв 
Для меня и для вашей гордости 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Разорвет на куски нас 
Мы друг другом растерзаны 
Не бросайте меня в эту безду 
Не бросайте в эту безду 

Я от вас совсем скоро взвою, 
Но такой улыбке сдаются без боя 
Залпы стихли, оружия сложены 
Ваши руки не там, где им быть положено 
Что я делаю, Боже! 

Страсти страшен обрыв 
Для меня и для вашей гордости 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Отойдите от этой пропасти 
Разорвет на куски нас 
Мы друг другом растерзаны 
Не бросайте меня в эту безду 
Не бросайте
