padredre A great collection of spare, dark folk songs. Somber and understated in the best way. Favorite track: That's Not There.

Joe Borreson Mt Went do something I love most in music: they drop you immediately into a feeling, a mood, a visceral sensation within the first chord, the first vocal melody and it's a pleasure to be taken there. Yes, Dave's voice has an uncanny resemblance to Thom Yorke's truly unique singing, but let that reference be a dreamy imagining if Radiohead did an all acoustic album with a rootsier influence and you're getting close. Favorite track: Respectable Prostitute.

Among Others 04:01
Belong with all, we're being fooled You must respond, being fooled, been here before Dig from your loss, from your love Oh should I go? I'm not sure, I'm not right, I applaud Born on a shore for a cost Being late for an appointment with the day or night, in an unfamiliar vehicle, we have gone in an unfamiliar area we have gone to roam around And a miracle been sent before I applaud We are fools to be sent for what we saw
2.
Who was there? No one I thought it was police Police? Are you in trouble with the police? Me? No! But I thought you might be I like that, I've never stolen a cent from anyone Never been in trouble with the police Not for stealing anyway
3.
Ember Wildly 04:51
Joan's away on day release, we talk I reserve, I didn't run away Gone to bury another lover's heart I'm not someone who'll ever fade away All my lives are lost All my lives are ruined Oh lay me down I'll land on stony ground Joan's is starting in this darkened baum All the days and all the lakes to climb, to find, don't run I know All my lives Oh lay me down
4.
He is not stubborn Not narrow-minded Not lazy Not stupid There was just no easy explanation So it was just left up in the air A kind of mystery
5.
Hidden Joke 03:30
A joke that you told me That brought me to my knees And stirred out from me the deepest feeling A laugh that's waiting just for me It's coming right at me And stirring autumn leaves I'm falling off my feet
6.
Open up your head They're arranged waiting there They are staged They are dead They are all you have left Hold on to it
7.
Maybe you could whisper how you're feeling now And if I had the courage I'd forget all about how And in case of winter, build a home And in case of hunger, build a stone for your head Fight for her, my daughter is lost to the world I'll find her in Johannesburg to bring her home And in case of sickness, lie down And in case of sadness, ride it out Fight for her, my daughter is lost to the world I'll find her in Johannesburg to bring her home
8.
To Bed 03:36
Oh guide Sudden then far away Come to win, come to bed Blood and all falls away Always is, always been I want you, alligator eyes I won't let it die I will find a way see You are somebody else I read it and got it backwards Come to me, angel of death Darling, your love is running out I want to get tough Put the world to rights I'm bound to miss the time, soldier type Come be the starting sign Oh my bleeding hands Go strong need to fight Don't need to let them Wonderful Somebody's time My body's time

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

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.

The slow, tired strumming of an acoustic and a wounded vocal is all that’s needed; these songs are stripped-back, cabin-in-the-woods affairs, with a darker approach that so befits indie / alternative / folk. Despite the stripped-away atmosphere, there’s plenty of meat on the music’s bones thanks to the depth of the guitar and the strained emotions that crawl out from the voice box. - (James Cathpole) FLUID RADIO
