"Let's make a song on the eight-track tonight,"
sing Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn and Ginger Brooks
Takahashi on "Oh! September," the final song on
Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project.
It's a lyric that makes perfect sense,
considering their friendship and the
circumstances surrounding this album: the pair
decided to hole up in a secluded house in the
Blue Ridge Mountains for a month and write and
record songs about their experience. Using a
Tascam four-track and mini-disc recorder, along
with a motley array of instruments including
steel drum, accordion, zither, and banjo, they
made the album into a working holiday. The
emphasis is on "holiday" instead of work,
though; the chirping birds, lonesome train
whistles, and buzzing insects that pop up
throughout Songs from the Black Mountain Music
Project make it feel like a collection of audio
postcards from Takahashi and Mirah's vacation.
Not surprisingly, the album has more than a
little in common with Mirah's You Think It's
Like This But Really It's Like This and
Advisory Committee, seamlessly fusing
spirituality, sensuality, and nature into
beautifully vulnerable, confessional music, but
Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project is
on a smaller scale. While the album features 18
tracks, only ten of them are full-fledged
songs; the rest are interludes spanning guitar
snippets, distorted tape loops, music box
miniatures, and found sounds that add a more
impressionistic feel. As usual, Mirah's voice
is gorgeous on showcases like the slightly
spooky "Life You Love," which, with its
pounding drums and shivery zithers, reaffirms
that she has a talent for drama that is sorely
lacking in most indie pop. "While We Have the
Sun" is another standout, a sweetly reassuring
song about living in the moment that reflects
the increasingly spiritual tenor of her
songwriting. Takahashi's presence also makes
itself felt throughout Songs from the Black
Mountain Music Project, particularly on the
gorgeous "Pure," which loops buzzing insects
behind her mellow, womanly voice, offering a
nice foil to the bright girlishness of Mirah's
singing. They exploit the contrast in their
voices on "Rock of Ages," their close harmonies
complementing each other perfectly. The
aforementioned "Oh! September," with its
off-kilter brass and loose-limbed drumming,
might technically be one of the weakest songs
here, but it's also one of the most charming.
Instrumentals like "The Party" are also
charming, with a playful prickliness that
recalls some of the instrumental interludes on
Lisa Germano's albums, as well as the surreally
romantic compositions of Yann Tiersen. Songs
from the Black Mountain Music Project may have
started out as an experiment, but its best
moments transcend its origins. ù Heather Phares

Founded in 2002, from the founder of one of the most
successful groups in the mp3 scene with more than
5000 releases, HCU has risen with an advantage of years
of experience.
We're Focusing primarily in keeping the group small like a
family and releasing good music, our group has a mission
and reputation to keep. We will not release anything that
we don't like just to count as status for our releases,
we will focus on the good old hardcore punk and other
of it's underground derivates such as metal, punk rock,
ska, powerviolence, skacore, crossover, metalcore, etc...
We are currently looking for sites to pre our releases,
so if you would like to have our group affiliated to
your site make sure you check the apply part of this
nfo. Rippers of the genre are also welcome.
Special Greetings for everyone in ATR, AMRC, BERC, iTS,
FNT, gF, PMS, rH and SS.
