Jahfin Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Caught their CD release show Saturday here in Raleigh and never have I found Heather McIntire's voice more mesmerizing. If you haven't done so already, you can stream their debut album and their The Letting Go EP at Bandcamp.com. They also just announced a string of dates opening for the Indigo Girls this summer. If they come to your town by all means be sure to check them out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVW7j-uje9o&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeIBTpcrN4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqGnKmC6m6Q&feature=related 7/10 | Carmel IN @ The Palladium, w/ Indigo Girls 7/11 | Chicago IL @ The Whistler w/ Judson Claiborne (no IG this night) 7/12 | Fish Creek WI @ Door Community, w/ Indigo Girls 7/13 | Minneapolis MN @ Minnesota Zoo, w/ Indigo Girls 7/15 | Arvada CO @ Arvada Center, w/ Indigo Girls 7/16 | Boulder CO @ Chautauqua Auditorium, w/ Indigo Girls 7/17 | Beaver Creek CO @ Vilar, w/ Indigo Girls 7/18 | Salt Lake City UT @ Kenley Amphitheater, w/ Indigo Girls 7/20 | Seattle WA @ Seattle Zoo, w/ Indigo Girls 7/21 | Seattle WA @ Seattle Zoo, w/ Indigo Girls 7/22 | Portland OR @ Portland Zoo, w/ Indigo Girls 7/23 | Redway CA @ Mateel Hall, w/ Indigo Girls 7/24 | Saratoga CA @ Mountain Winery, w/ Indigo Girls 7/25 TBA 7/26 | Los Angeles CA @ Troubadour, w/ Indigo Girls 7/27 | San Diego CA @ Humphrey’s, w/ Indigo Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Cool to see Mount Moriah in the #1 spot on Shuffle magazine's Top 25 Albums from the Carolina's list but it leaves me wondering as to why the Rosebuds' Loud Planes Fly Low record didn't make the cut. 1. Mount Moriah — Mount Moriah (Holidays For Quince) The country-flavored rock of the eponymous debut from Mount Moriah, the Durham band led by singer Heather McEntire and guitarist Jenks Miller, struck a chord this year, and with more than just our critics’ panel. These eight tracks read like fading photos rendered into 3D by McEntire’s topical — yet emotionally timeless — stories of hardship and perseverance, as well as Miller’s intricate modern guitar decor. As Shuffle’s Jordan Lawrence examined in this issue, that knack for comfortably folding the new in with the traditional is what sets Carolinas country-rock apart. “Lament” was the perfect indie-tinged single, two-and-a-half minor-key minutes of swirling organ and snaking guitar capturing a relationship’s implosion. Over a shuffling beat and forlorn pedal steel, “The Reckoning” relates the moment McEntire came out to her deeply religious mother. The quick-tempo “Social Wedding Rings” hums with the regret of “mistakes made” while Miller’s fuzzed-out guitar singes those memories, and the processional “Hail, Lightning” ends things with resolve, offered like prayer, to “let us heal, let us grow.” Concise, redemptive and beautiful, Mount Moriah reminds us what makes this region’s music so wondrous and fertile.

Jahfin Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 From a feature in the current issue of Durham, NC's Independent Weekly called "10 In Local Music To Look For in '12": Rather than self-release their excellent debut LP to no interest or acclaim or settle for a middling record deal that wouldn't have done them any favors, Mount Moriah held onto their music, playing shows and finishing tours before finally releasing their first batch of eight songs. As such, they're sitting on another set of tunes ready to be recorded, and they've built a substantial bit of buzz for their start. After a Pitchfork review and several slews of dates with the Indigo Girls, they'll join The Hold Steady's Craig Finn for a full national tour in early 2012. Theirs is certainly a gospel worth spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
