Tim McLelland I wish every track was like the last one! Good stuff throughout, but the singing on the last song is the best! Favorite track: A Waste.

Lost Tribe Sound I've been following the work of Logan Farmer's Monarch Mtn project for a while now. The guy has always displayed a keen ability for songwriting, but the new album he just released 'Everyone Is Here' is perhaps my favorite, and a big step forward for his rustic homespun brand of experimental folk pop. Got to give it the full album listen though because as the first half only provides a shadow of the beast, the second half unfurls to reveal its dark underbelly. Favorite track: A Waste.

What a time to be alive The earth is dead We understand the power of our kind I brought a vase of lilies home On June the first The bulbs did burst in shades of white and gold And it’s not much But it is something What a time to touch your skin When all is lost It’s as if we never were at all Maybe that’s the better way Forget my songs Forget my face and let the record state It’s not much but it’s something What a time to be alive The sky is dark We’re apart but never really Cause if you simply stand outside And just look up A million suns quietly singing That it’s not much But it’s something

Suddenly I’m changed My thoughts have been rewired We all get sad sometimes We all get sad sometimes So leave me to my pain I’m selfish by design I will be satisfied I will be satisfied What is the trouble that you find here? In the vast reaches of your mind You’re too kind To be destroyed by god What if I’m awake? What if I survive? We all deserve to die We’re begging for it We all deserve this life Whatever happens What is the trouble that you find here? By all accounts you're doing fine You’re too kind To be destroyed by god

Charlie fled and sped away Down the dark streets of Newark 3 am A car this age with this many miles Could feed you for a month If you got friends at the paint and body What do you wanna be? I forgot who I was The city dark and wild Watch the gears shift Mike was drunk and driving home Through the dark streets of Newark 3 am Tank of gas, a pack of smokes And student loans to pay Might call up a previous lover The engine on, he grabs his phone And stares into the light Focus on the spinning number What do you wanna be? I forgot who I was At the gas station parked “Get out of the car Get out of the car Get the fuck out of the car” Charlie parks and walks inside To where his wife sleeps alone He washes up and lays beside her

Marathon Man 05:17
Hey - do you got that new chip in your credit card? Inquiring minds await. Hey - I've been sleeping poorly since the marathon. I came in second place (.2 seconds away, hey hey) Hey - if that is not a crime then I don't know what is (oh god I want more time) (planets don't align, they just embarrass ours) So I've been staying in my room.

Black black black All I’ve seen All I’ve known Is wasted In my room In our home Forever Grey Eyes Kill Blue, blue, blue If his fingers left a bruise Remember That you won’t be Just ten years old Forever Grey Eyes Kill White, white, white Spirits bright And oceans wide And lifting Lifting high Should waters rise So quickly? And if the bastard ever shows Strip him naked to the toes And never roll away his stone To see him Grey Eyes Kill

I wander through the waking hours (little darling - see again) Something awoke when you wrote your book (You were never kind to me, but you always told the truth) And I see the murky depths swirling past your eyes (It's like nothing's changed, but everything is new) And I don't want to die in this piece of shit hotel, I want to walk out the door for you and vanish in the air as you bare your teeth (You're part of the gang now too) Come on little sugar, don't leave the party now! Everyone is here for you, everyone is here!

See where the line was drawn? This is the wire you’re balanced on The highest science: to bargain with the gods Who do you think you are? When you’re sleeping the liquor off A quiet mind is devoted to the cause Lover, just give em whatever they want What do you know from the city Some things don’t grow in soil But take root in your mind In an infinite spiral While the poor man’s bride Is a corpse in a lavender suit I wouldn’t mourn the loss A Cohen is born while it’s garbage you write A chorus for us Stop fucking with your voice Careful, you might just slip into the void

A Waste 05:08
It’s my favorite image from our trip to New York: Drunk in the village, facing the storm Despite the bad weather, we were walking around Do you remember it now? When It’s already over I let my guard down (Gabe was right, the bastard showed in the frozen night on the horse his father stole) When It’s already over I let my guard down It’s my favorite image from our trip to New York: Asleep in the kitchen we could barely afford You took a red marker and you wrote on my face In your infinite grace: “A Waste” “A Waste” “A Waste” “A Waste”

about

'Monarch Mtn's 'Everyone Is Here' sounds like rain streaks on a dusty window in October dusklight. It sounds like the silver rise of your breath under the harvest moon. Exquisitely haunting and spookily gorgeous. This is gothic Americana for people who love poetry of sound and word.'
-Jeff Zentner, author of The Serpent King (Crown Publishing, 2016)

'The palette is undoubtedly gloomy, blacks and greys and deep blues, but Farmer’s warm vocals and poetic turns of phrase flicker across this twilight like threads of gold.'
-Wake The Deaf

'Monarch Mtn's presence floats like an apparition which is discreetly exhibiting its impeccable artistry, still underappreciated and lurking to haunt whomever discovers it next.'
-Destroy//Exist
