Misty Mountain

Misty Mountain is the brainchild of Nicholas Emmert, who also shreds a mean axe and sings for the progressively psychedelic mind melting rock band Mammatus. This ain't no Mammatus side project though, for Nicholas had been exploring his lo-fi DIY 4-Track persona long before he started shattering skulls with exploding electric guitar wizardry. On the aptly titled 2, the second Misty Mountain album but first to see any sort of official release, he delights in exploring the endless possibilities of the Tascam MK424 cassette four track recorder. Showcasing his wide range of musical love and ability, Nicholas treats our ears to delicately woven acoustic guitar instrumentals, far out experimental tape collage, toe tapping folk rockers, native american flute journeys, and even a blissed out electric jam with Residual Echoes main brain Adam Payne. Nicholas harnesses his voice as well, singing lovingly and heartily as he marvels in the beauty and wonder of the natural world, while pondering his own place in it. For fans of mountains, rocks, redwoods, and spiritual awakening.
