Mountain High / Wicked Wanderer

Wantage Usa

Philadelphia's dual-drummer outfit, MOUNTAIN HIGH, have finally completed their debut long-player, and folks, here it is. Wicked Wanderer blurs the lines between punk/psych/funk and rock and roll substantially and deftly. Few bands bring the sort of powerful heft to the table that Mountain High do. Prepare to have this stuck on your headphones for a month straight. Mountain High fit somewhere on the continuum between groups like Amon Duul II, the Pink Fairies and Tony McPhee's Groundhogs. Sort of proto-punk and grittier than most psych, and somewhat blues-rooted, though altogether their own thing, with mini-anthems and non-sequitor tributes to Punky Brewster and baseball.
