- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
mt.st.helens are on the verge of releasing their third album, "Of Others",
which offers a more refined and concise version of their compelling, guitar
driven sound. Having cut their teeth in the early part of the 21st century at
the Fireside Bowl, Empty Bottle, Schubas and Bottom Lounge (and many
stateside tours); mt.st.helens have stuck it out and cultivated a small but
devoted following.
"Of Others" draws from influences as diverse as Unwound, Shudder to Think,
Ride and Boards of Canada but the result is far from derivative. Guitar
player Michael Sprague has constructed a cadre of masterfully spare guitar
leads that are at once striking and hypnotic. Guitarist / vocalist Quinn
Goodwillie's (of acclaimed local group Sleep Out) powerful voice has
increased in range and fortitude and is greatly bolstered by the stalwart
rhythm section of Jason Sprague (Bass) and Ben Geier (drums).
After the demise of their beloved former home, Divot Records (Haymarket Riot,
Sweep The Leg Johnny, Braid), msh have signed on with Chicago's Two Thumbs
Down Records, home of Driftless Pony Club, May or May Not and Dialogue. TTD
will release "Of Others" in August of this year. Former member Matt Fast, of
local group Rollo Tomasi, will be re-joining the band this year and handling
third guitar, keyboard and percussion duties.
