Puppy Mountain

How can it be so hard to muster the motivation to write about music right now when I’m deeply enjoying so many songs? Truly, this post alone has been two days in the coming, not because I didn’t know what to say but the effort of opening up wordpress and saying those things seemed an unbreachable barrier. I’m here now and you’re with me and that means you and I are gonna share in this song. It’s from Puppy Mountain – would you believe it? What a name, one that draws immediate affection the moment you hear it. Is it a mountain covered in puppies? Is it a stack of young dogs, wiggling and slobbering all over the joint? There are simply no bad outcomes here, whatever way it falls it’s a joy.

And from this canine hill comes a song that’s nowhere near as peaceful as the presiding name. It’s a choppy electronic record in the spirit of Animal Collective but with a little more linear drive to it. You know what it immediately reminded me of though, that White Lotus theme song, and the main theme in particular. The vocal parsed into pieces and rearranged and repeated at different pitches. Anyway, the energy to write that I thought I had just dried up so here I go, on my merry way.
