Mountain Mirrors Releases Self-Titled Album on Innovative Internet Label Magnatune

    /24-7PressRelease/ - FAIRHAVEN, MA, June 17, 2006 -- Mountain Mirrors has just released their self - titled, second album via the internet. According to Jeff Sanders of Mountain Mirrors, "This time, I wanted to get away from the one-man-band thing...and hooked up with drummer/producer/keyboard player Elad Fish. Elad turned out to be sort of my George Martin." Jeff works in a collaborative style with a variety of musicians including Elad Fish, cellist Claire Fitch, keyboard player Oren Selas and bassist Guy Bar-Tor. This all-acoustic album is a departure from Mountain Mirrors previous release which utilized Massive Attack / Portishead style drum loops as a backdrop to his dark, evocative and reflective sound.

The self-titled Mountain Mirrors was shaped by the varied interests of founder, Jeff Sanders. Jeff explains that this album encompasses a wide array of influences which include his favorite TV shows such as "The Shield" and the cinematic work of directors such as Quentin Tarantino. "Anything disturbing" as Jeff puts it. And so with song titles such as "Stay Evil", "Your Time Has Come" and "Karmic Dogs" you might be surprised to find that the songs aren't necessarily as menacing as they might seem. Stonerrockchick.com, in a review of Jeff's first album (Lunar Ecstasy), described Mountain Mirrors as "fit for poets, travelers and seekers" and it's an apt description.

Take, for instance the song "Stay Evil"; the song as Jeff describes it was written "about following a spiritual path and finding some enlightenment."

Mountain Mirrors signed on with Magnatune , an innovative, internet site which provides listeners with a great variety of indie music.

ABOUT Mountain Mirrors:
http://www.mountainmirrors.com/index.html
Jeff Sanders Mountain Mirrors started in the woods of Massachusetts with a Radio Shack keyboard, a four-track and a drum machine. Jeff Sanders, the man behind Mountain Mirror's eclectic mix of psychedelic-laced folk, has been entranced by music as long as he can remember. Jeff credits influences ranging from 80's thrash metal to the work of Nick Drake and Damien Rice. It was this mix of influences that helped Jeff realize that a musician need not be tied to one genre or another but rather to create music that they feel inspired by and in turn hopefully inspire others. He has released two albums to date and is signed with Magnatune Records.
