RESCHEDULING Cedar Dreamer, Mountain Holler, Serpentent @ BALLARD HOMESTEAD

"Solastalgia is a new word to describe a familiar sensation: the psychological effects of living through environmental upheaval and loss. Brought into being throughout a period of intense personal anguish, Solastalgia is the darkest and most cohesive Cedar Dreamer offering to date. Slow building loops lead to crescendos of euphoric trance. Dark ambient minimalism interplays with scintillating choral harmonies. The 4 movements contained herein were created almost entirely by voice and acoustic instruments, without electric guitars or keyboard synths. By returning to the grounding properties of voice and breath, Solastalgia captures an intimate journey along the healing path.

The creation of this work was a bitter but necessary medicine, and it is now offered here in the spirit of the Gift."

"Music as ritual—that’s what Mountain Holler creates. Much like the name, the voice of the project is both powerful and primeval. The moniker of St. Petersburg, Florida multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Mark Etherington, Mountain Holler pairs intricate acoustics with haunting, other-worldly vocals. It’s a layered mélange, one that evokes deep emotions and transcendent daydreams.

Weaned on Ravi Shankar and acoustic Zeppelin, Etherington also integrates contemporary influences like Devendra Banhart and Fleet Foxes into his sound. Now rooted in the cooler climes of Seattle, Mountain Holler continues to evolve. The Stranger writes that Etherington “murmurs, moans, belts, and croons ethereal yet powerfully-charged melodies that sound as if they were hewn from some rocky outcropping before their journey to the heavens.”

Indeed, Mountain Holler’s songs are reflections on nature’s beauty and truth as well as the pursuit of spiritual awareness. Resolutely DIY, Etherington continually brings his mystical melodies to venues and festivals across the United States. Mountain Holler’s trance-inducing performances never fail to take audiences on an inward journey."
