A Mountain Of One have produced one of the albums of the year. Institute Of Joy is one of the most ambitious, direct and phenomenal records for a long time.
Following the release and a string of highly sought after 12s and the Collected Works CD that brought together the bands first three EPs, the band have been in studio for the past year putting together this, Institute Of Joy.
This album feels like it could wrap itself round the world. Its a massive achievement, a record that looks through the past to discover the future, a musical trip that for people to lose themselves in, ITs music for the mind and soul, the work of a band at the peak of their powers and phenomenally creative.
Its the work of two people - Mo Morris and Zeben Jameson - that know music passionately and instinctively. Its a modern day classic. Much more than the sum of its vast influences, A Mountain Of One have made a psychedelic rock record record for 2009.
