I Am Loving: Mt. Desolation “State Of Affairs”

I really am not at all a fan of the term “super-group.” I find it to be a tad pretentious. However, Mt. Desolation falls under that category whether I like it or not. I’m not the one who coined the term, so I’m just gonna go with it for the sake of argument.

Mt. Desolation is made up of members from Keane, The Killers, Noah and the Whale, The Long Winters,  Mumford and Sons and more. That fact alone is enough to make you want to listen. Or at least it should be. Here is their bio courtesy of Last. fm.

Recently, Mt. Desolation released a track called “State of Affairs” from their upcoming album of “country songs.” Yes, I said country songs, but don’t let that deter you. It is a GORGEOUS track and it plays to peace of mind.

Here’s an excerpt from an article on Mt. Desolation from consequeceofsound.com:

“If you were wondering what the sum of The Killers, Keane, The Long Winters, and Mumford & Sons actually sounds like, then today is your lucky day. Mt. Desolation — which also features the fiddle of Noah and the Whale’s Tom Hobden — have released a track from their forthcoming album of “country songs.”

The new super-group debuted a slew of those songs at their debut gig at London’s Luminaire on June 4th, and by looking at the video from the show, a good time was had by all. They all looked very Ralph Lauren in khakis and button-downs, but their clothes couldn’t keep the joy (and nervousness) from showing on their faces.”
