BLOGS/ALBUM REVIEWS:
Space City Rock: "At their best, Ghost Mountain plays like the love child of Animal Collective neo-psych and a syrup-slowed, heavy-lidded MC Paul Barman, incorporating vocab-heavy lines with layers of bright, warm-and-fuzzy M83 synths, cloud-sweeping atmospherics, and a gleeful sense of childish abandon. At their weirdest, they near Four Tet territory, crafting intricate blankets of warm, comforting instrumental melodicism
It's like nothing I've ever heard before, and even after repeated listens, I find myself skipping backwards through the album, trying in vain to figure out how they pieced and assembled all this together and made it work. Because it definitely freaking does, somehow."
The Rice Thresher: "The album is a collection of 12 of their best tracks that range from bubbly and happy to spacey and introspective. Ghost Mountain's lyrics are delivered in a lighthearted and clever way that makes the unique talk-rapping enjoyable to listen to. Not to mention the fact that they are humorously witty: Lines like "Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you're attractive," and other tidbits will win a chuckle here and there...The sincere flavor imbued into the project definitely shines through and comes across as pop for the sake of pop - not pop for the sake of popularity."
Dryvetyme Onlyne: "Thus, I’m simply stunned and astonished at the depth and quality of music on Siamese Sailboats, the debut release from Ghost Mountain. This teen duo out of Houston, TX has put together a twelve-song project that, on one hand, serves as an exquisite example of contemporary bloghouse music, but, on the other, is an amazingly fresh collection of tracks that exult in the joys, hurts, hopes, and pains of youth. Aspects of Wavves, Yacht, Peachcake, and Of Montreal can be easily picked from this milieu of catchy, hooky, poppy fun, but it’s the nerdy, smart-aleck sense of awareness that drives things to heart for me."
Houston's Most Hated: "Not a Single Mountain in Baytown by the way. But hey, we ain’t mad at em. Keep up the good work guys, and show these kids how they do it down south. Baytown in the House ! !"
