Mount Eerie - Lost Wisdom (2008) *****
Nominated by: Alex
Music club: MNAC
Highlight: Lost Wisdom
Lost Wisdom! Slam dunk brilliant for me. All things must pass - including the music and thoughts on this album but it's crazy good while it's here and now.
Loads to love:
The voices mesh brilliantly, the sparse backing is real. I loved everything about this record but I especially loved the lyrics. I knew I'd be in safe hands after the opening to the first track - I got close enough to the river that I couldn't hear the trucks but not close enough to stop the roaring of my mind. These rocks don't care if I live or die, everyone I know will finally turn away.
That idea that life is fleeting gets a great coda during O My Heart - what I find will be found easily and only when I'm not looking for it.
Favourite tracks: Lost Wisdom; Voice In Headphones; O My Heart. But really the whole thing is terrific.
