Second Record Available Here
Time to start bringing the past into the present. Thanks to Los and our good friends at Safety Meeting Records in New Haven, CT. our second full length “Let’s Open Up the Chest” (released in 2008) is now available for purchase from this page. This record was recorded by our man Mitch Rackin down at Seaside Studios in Brooklyn. It’s a knock-out beautiful vinyl record with CD included (you can see the front cover art below). This record featured the longstanding Movers six man lineup of Dan Greene (songs and guitar), Rick Omonte (bass), Jay Bates (drums), Rob Katz (organ/rhodes), John Panos (trumpet, bvox), and Erik Elligers (sax, flute, bvox).
Terrascope UK posted this review of “Let’s Open Up the Chest”…
“….The Mountain Movers veer more towards beautifully crafted psychedelic pop songs about death, love, hope and dread with chiming guitars and swirling organ fills, the occasional flute and some well arranged brass offering a little diversity here and there. Production values are ramped up as well: recorded on 16 track 2 inch tape mixed down to a ΒΌ” two track, the warmth of the sound trickles out of the limited edition vinyl version of this album like molten chocolate. ‘Last Chance for Summer’ has rapidly become a particular favourite around here, and ‘You Know Who I Speak Of’ which closes Side 1 has one of those melodies that the early Rolling Stones were so brilliant at pinning down; so catchy, you swear you must’ve heard it somewhere before. Top marks too for the sleeve-art which Dan Greene also penned (quite literally)”—Phil at Terrascope U.K.
