Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the dissolution of the influential indie rock band Helium, Mary Timony ventures into more delicate, esoteric territory for her solo debut. 'Mountains' heavily incorporates piano, viola, and harpsichord alongside her signature angular guitar style. The lyricism delves deep into mystical, medieval-tinged fantasy, resulting in an album that feels remarkably intimate and profoundly eccentric.
