For those who have followed this blog for some time I’m going to clear up one of our many mysteries on that Lost tip. If you’ve noticed, I tend to drop sporadic reference to the label Holy Mountain when either posting on their artists or when I lack the expression of how to describe a sound. Grasping for an accesible definition, Holy Mountain represents the cracks in time and space between Boards of Canada and early Animal Collective or Leni Riefenstahl and Peru Ana Ana Peru…maybe not the greatest of comparisons, but you get the picture.
Holy Mountain ranks as one of the most admirable and go-to rosters in these parts of the internet and for those who haven’t yet dabbled into this long list of qualified sound prophets then let this post serve as a sign. The name Holy Mountain refers to the Alejandro Jodorowsky-directed cult film released in 1973 [thanks to Beatles manager Allen Klein], the trailer of which is above. The label and the film come with the highest recommendations from FMLY, so if you’re looking to just trip out on this gorgeous Saturday night then please go ahead. Below are samples of artists whom you’ll find on Holy Mountain and this site. Totally unrelated, take a peek at Salvation Mountain!
Zomes – Cosmovital Force
Wooden Shjips – Death’s Not Your Friend
Cloudland Canyon – Heme (via play it as it lays)
