Squid Mountain's debut EP showcases the stylistic flourishes of these Toronto"post-apocalyptic groove-rock prophets."Squid Mountain's music leans heavily on the aesthetics of soul-oriented rock of the mid-late 1970's, while infusing elements of funk, roots, psych, new wave, and garage to produce a distinctly retro patchwork sound held together with modern indie sensibilities. Squid Mountain describes the texture of their music as"post-apocalyptic," emphasizing dark tonalities, complex but accessible guitar riffs, soulful vocals tinged with ragged urgency, and infectious funky bass lines. The first rule of Squid Mountain is"above all else, it's gotta groove."Major stylistic influences and comparable sounds include Thin Lizzy, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Tom Waits, Alabama Shakes, Wolfmother, Graveyard, Ben Harper, The Constantines, and The Flaming Lips.Squid Mountain are:Matthew Malott- lead vocals, guitarPeter Angelinos- lead guitar, vocalsSandra Zelazny- drums, vocalsSubhayu Mukherjee- bassRecorded at Oak Recording Studios, Toronto, OntarioMixed by Damon de SzegheoEngineered by Justin HelleProduced by Squid Mountain
