The Mountain Movers have, over the course of five albums and a decade's worth of
LPs, CDs, 7-inches, CDrs, and cassettes steadily become New Haven's best kept secret;
a band capable of lurching between melancholic indie rock, strident garage/psych
and pummeling guitar freak-fuckery. Their earliest beginnings saw the band documenting
bandleader Dan Greene's vast catalog of songs, while displaying a rotating cast of
New Haven musicians' unique skills. Shortly after the bands fourth album (2011's "Apple
Mountain") constant members Greene and bassist Rick Omonte were joined by drummer
Ross Menze and guitarist Kryssi Battelene, forming what is now the Mountain Mover's
longest running lineup. The band's eponymous sixth album takes cues from everything
before and coalesces the bands vision so succinctly and perfectly, it makes you wonder
where they're been your whole life.
