How to Dance, by Mount Moriah

How to Dance

by Mount Moriah

supported by

Keith Pearce This is a really enjoyable set. There are a multitude of influences that result in a really unique and warm blend. A little soul, a little blues, a little R&B, a little indie, all with a little lip sneer. Recommended. Favorite track: Cardinal Cross.

Gary Prentice Love the whole album but what a great finale. Hope to see you in Europe one of these days. Favorite track: Little Bear.

Design by Maggie Fost

This album is dedicated to anyone who has ever felt the cold shadows of oppression or discrimination; to the misfits, the outcasts, the loners, the misunderstood, the underdogs; to the activists who devote their lives fighting for social justice; to the artists who exist to create and create to exist, even when the fruits of their labor are threatened; to the animals of the world who teach us unconditional love; to the healers and counselors who follow our pain and show us how to heal; to the community leaders who seek not to divide us, but to unite us in compassion and humanity; to those who pursue the expansion of mind and emotion; to the cosmos and to the magic; to the seekers.

Thank you: Merge Records, Alyson West / Ravenhouse, Shawn Nolan, Andrew Morgan / Billions, Bank Robber, Terry Lonergan, Nick Petersen, Brian Paulson, James Plotkin, Mark Nevers, Missy Thangs, James Wallace, Lee Waters, Joe Westerlund, David Kovach, the talented players and engineers who helped execute the vision of this album, our families, our friends, our loves, our dogs.

Always finding albums like this that I wish I discovered years ago. Love, love, love this, from the simple arrangements to the Bond theme and screams of 'I know the end'. BikeBoy29
