Jack Mountain is a Crumby Lover

 

Andy at Dainty Records asked me for a song for his free online comp 'Crumby Lovers' and I said a-yeah. That's what I said. All the songs are by UK lofi or underground types and there are some really lovely tunes on there. Plus the cover is sweet.

It went up today on last.fm. You can find it here

Listen to/download Planet of Rockers and all other Jack Mountain releases on Last.fm

The Planet of Rockers CDs are here and I'm posting a few out today. I have made all the Jack Mountain albums free to listen to and download on last.fm. Previously not all tracks were downloadable and the Ghosty EP was missing but they are all there now, check it out. Although of course the sound quality is much better from the CD and I mean the CD looks awesome anyway!

Cheers.

I am expecting to get my hands on these sometime next week. 

Once again this has been mastered by the good Doug Shearer (who improved the sound quality quite a bit too) and is being printed and pressed up by Pete at Noisebox in Norwich.

The cover image is from a free image I found on wikipedia, I went looking for pictures of feathers and this was my favourite. The front cover, back and CD all have different cuts of this.

These are limited but will be free at gigs or direct from me, just get in touch using the email below or myspace

2 tracks from the new Jack Mountain album

Here are mp3 of tracks 2 and 3 off of the new album. This stuff is all kind of garagey with Boy Howdy banging the pots n pans. 

Work With Me - about people putting a downer on me. This song has 3 or 4 parts and is the second longest song on the album

Do the Idiot - concerning foolish behaviour. This is the slowest song on the record.

Once I've worked out the artwork I can get the CD's made up. Deets to follow yo.

Hey everybody!

Album IV mixed... 13 tracks, 25 minutes

Next step is to get it mastered and get the artwork together... Stay on target. It sounds like this:

Work starts on album IV tonight

Evenin'. I'm starting work on Album IV in earnest tonight. I'm calling it 'Planet of Rockers' - this is the all rock n' roll record. It will have most of the new tunes that Boy Howdy and I have been playing at recent shows. Hopefully it will be ready to give away for New Year. 

Soon come.
