padredre More moooody music from this pair of brilliant songwriters. I love the haunting spaces they conjure.

Mark Neal an incredible combination of songwriters who truly understand the importance of space and breathe. Favorite track: A Vindication.

Joe Borreson Seabuckthorn fans take note. Andy Cartwright's beautiful guitar playing is only enhanced by Dave Anderson's gorgeous sinuous vocal melodies and singing here. This and the other Mt. Went albums carry the weight of being secret musical treasures that you only want to share with your most ardent music loving friends, but their secret is too good to keep to yourself. So share, and share alike. Favorite track: The Owls Are Talking.

Resistance 04:14
Born in the style of the French Resistance All told Oh, will you send all your sons in coffins All lined up to measure You say our pain on earth I was saying we'd make a great Gone to a sleep of riches, ruins Laid for a call of solace and the island You say our pain on earth, bomb bird fly I was saying we'd make a great well new life Born and raised, what they got for all that time I was saying we'd make a great looking, dying
2.
This is a test A war, a guess Our way back Is so sown with doubt This is on This is all we have left This is autumn of pain For our bodies This is the lost and innocent Of our bodies They were gathering their stones for you They would gather in their storms for you Our bodies
3.
I am apart Disembodied, this body Is yours, of course How I applaud, your advances Your results Please look and touch I won't talk James, when you came You blew, my mind A gent or not, it's your privilege Let me swoon on That's all I'm good for That's all I'm good for Help, pain, how I love it, I love it, I Help, pain, now I love it, I love it, I Help, pain, how I love it, I love it, I Help, pain, now I love it, I love it, I I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it
4.
We took boats to the edge of it We were all too young and selfish Burn, burn the bridge, cut them off We're born again, leave them for Dead and gone Left them Left them for Dead and gone We swam out to watch the courage We found ourselves in the ruins You've seen us Floating by You've seen We have eyes
5.
All with the talking I'll never dance Under your arms I'll never die In the dark, the darkness With the darl, the darlings In the dark, the dark vistas of care Oh save our souls
6.
Rewild 01:53
7.
They sent plenty of cards Still she fails to open I'll wait for her Try to keep my hopes high Always light in the dark There's been plenty of talk They stirred autumn feathers They were chased by the rain They fell into each other Always light in the dark Always light in the dark Always she's a light in the dark And where I drift to calmly Has her eyes as stars shining pretty She's a light in the dark Always a light in the dark
8.
The stain, the sides of weak and static sighs You lay, awake, salivate, stuttered surprise Growing pains, the loss of love and light in your eyes, Escapes and breaks and glides Could you wait, could you feel life I might weep, tremble, die
9.
Way Down 05:00
You stay alone I lie at your feet Do I away now? Do away now Going low Carry me at your feet Do I away now? Do away now I'm not out anymore Carry me at your feet Do I await now? Do away now

-------------------------------------------------

Mt Went is the collaborative project between Andy Cartwright (Seabuckthorn) and Dave Anderson (Von Braun). Mt Went is two friends from different musical pursuits, who have managed to create two well-crafted and beautifully weathered indie albums over the last ten years.

Even though nearly a decade lapsed between the making of 'Sheltering Sky' and 'Lit Way Down' the two albums feel inextricably linked to one another. 'Sheltering Sky' was recorded back in 2010 when Cartwright and Anderson still lived in same small UK town, Witney, Oxfordshire. Yet it has never seen a proper release and sat unattended for nearly a decade until Cartwright revisited the sessions in 2018 to give them a proper polish. While doing so, both Anderson and Cartwright rekindled a fondness for the material and decided a follow-up was in order. That follow-up became 'Lit Way Down,' an album built from many long distance file swaps in the increasingly rare moments of downtime, with Cartwright now living in the French Alps and Anderson still in the UK.

------------------------------------------------

NEW & NOTABLE - "Beautiful and mysterious folk-adjacent songs from this UK outfit that wreathe delicate acoustic guitar in mist-like synths." - BANDCAMP

ALBUM OF THE WEEK - "La distanza fisica tra i due artisti (Cartwright vive ormai da anni sulle Alpi francesi) risulta, a sua volta, ampiamente abbreviata dalle loro sensibilità complementari, che nei circa settanta minuti complessivi dei due album spaziano da un intimismo folk non privo di accenti ritualistici e tenebrosi allo spleen dal gusto “indie” suggerito dal timbro salmodiante di Anderson, il tutto calato in ambientazioni sonore di espansa densità." - MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU

"There's a fragile beauty to the pained and haunted vocals of Dave Anderson that thread their way through the more substantial, ever inventive string work of Seabuckthorn in Mt Went's low lit, gloomy alt-folk outpouring on Lost Tribe Sound." - THE SLOW MUSIC MOVEMENT

"An intensely elegiac acoustic landscape, diluted by measured hybridizations capable of pushing the song form towards enchanting environmental horizons. (translated from Italian)(Peppe Trotta) TRISTE SUNSET

"Their music is imbued with a kind of narcotic melancholy, which also regularly gives you goosebumps." - (translated from Dutch) (Jan Willem Broek) DE SUBJECTIVISTEN
