On “Mountain,” Cryogeyser teams up with Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman for a sonic sierra that feels, somehow, equal parts crushing and caressing. The LA trio’s latest offering from their upcoming self-titled album feels like watching an ice sculpture melt in reverse: Shawn Marom’s fuzzed-out guitar work creates a wall of sound that’s less Phil Spector and more frozen waterfall, while Hartzman’s soaring harmonies weave through the mix like Northern Lights. When they sing, “I hear one door closing holds another open,” it hits you with the weight of an avalanche in slow motion.
“Mountain” is a meditation on friendship that trades the usual longing for something rarer—the warm glow of actually having what you want.
The track builds like a snowball rolling downhill, gradually gathering mass and momentum until all of a sudden you realize it’s become something altogether massive and mesmerizing
