“Early Pink Floyd is back! This is really cool! I love the vocal efx. Syd Barrett would be proud. The lyrics are profound, for sure! There's a great message here. Guns for money, guns for pay! If that don't make you think I don't know what will! Reviewed by: beatlehead01 from Saranac Lake, New York”

“Shine on ! A very laid back track indeed , very syd / Gilmouresque with more than a bit of originality for good measure , the guitar in this track is immense and I take my hat of to you ! Could be the new prog rock ! Extra Credit: Guitars, Production, Melody, Mood, Originality. - illuminai South, Stirling, United Kingdom”

“very cool todos los instrumentos hacen lo q tienen q hacer me suena bastante a las primeras epocas de pink floyd, hongos y psicodelia muy bueno, pero ami gusto carece de originalidad. good guitar playing by the way. good luck Extra Credit: Guitars, Bass, Programming, Mood. - ignachush Buenos Aires, Argentina”

“WOW! Unique Haunting GEM! This thing really sends me!! It's like being in a Haunted Valley in Mid East Outer Space! The singer sounds like Jim Morrison came back to life in the body of Beck. Exotic beats mixed with heavy bass lines that sound like a Psychotic belly dancer is dripping cobra blood all over it. Reviewed by: LenCat from Mountain View, California”

“Seasoned and confident. Love the sound of the keys. That guitar tone is so dreamy and smooth. Really good on the ears. A little Floyd-esque. The lyrics are great and true. Your vocals are great - sit on top of the music just right. The song moves smoothly and quietly. The vocal addition on the chorus is perfect - the way the second voice is panned in the left side strongly. The breakdown with the keys (with the wah or whatever) is superb. This song really has a seasoned sound. I would love to see your band live. The song is catchy, historical, confident, and easy to listen to. I'm afraid of myself too....

“brilliant! An excellent track, psychedelic rock with lots of 70s influences, nice, dreamy, mellow groove, great guitar work, beautiful voice and great rythm section, lovely bass. Good production too. Perhaps the hi-hat and the cymbals are a bit too loud and the rest of the drums could have been a little louder in the mix as well as the bass but pretty much everything is fine here really, the band shows both maturity and vision. Quality stuff. Reviewed by: Nova_Effect from United States”

Questions

Ask Goth Mountain anything...

Q: Can you talk about your gear and what you use to create your sound?

A: Goth Mountain is a Macintosh-based digital studio. I use primarily Gibson guitars except for my favorite acoustic 12 string Fender and the occasional Fender bass. Midi keyboards by KORG. I record with RODE microphones. Drums are all programmed samples of actual drums in studio. Most vocals are double tracked in two octaves or harmony. Additional vocals come from Apple Loops. I also double lead guitars often. Mastering finished in Audacity.
