Motive Sounds, the record label that sent me this gifted debut from Mt., sends their promos in these little paper bags closed with a sticker, almost as if it contained some illicit drugs. Well as potent and dangerous as these hooks are, it might as well be a Schedule I narcotic. “Lethologica” is as I said Mt.’s debut featuring two members of ctrlaltdelete, Laura Harrison and Ben Maxwell. Drifting into the ambient shoegazing instrumentals of Explosions In the Sky and the abstract introspective of Mogwai, Mt. is an evolution of post-rock that is part experiment and part lab rat.

Keep an eye out for this outfit, you’ll need to jump at the chance of hearing them.
