"The Mountain" was inspired by a photograph of a friend's grandfather on his

last day, sitting in a chair and looking at the Green Mountains of Vermont. we never knew the man, but the photo said so much. when we decided to film a video for "The Mountain" in Paul's attic, we invited fans to send us their special photos and stories of friends and loved ones who had passed away so we could include them in the video. watch it now on YouTube.

each photo has its own aching beauty. they remind us of the connections we
all share, and the way we can preserve the presence of another within the eternal natural world. Thank you to everyone who shared a photo and a memory.

we've posted a few of the photos and their stories on here and would invite you to spend time with them. 

our new single "The Mountain" is out today.

it was inspired by a photograph of a friend's grandfather on his death bed overlooking the Green Mountains of Vermont. seeing the sun glinting on the face of a man about to die made us think about the love people sometimes find in this world: a love strong enough to encounter and endure death together and/or alone, soon or in the distant future. it's a song for the living; those of us keeping promises we made to love on and never forget, affixing ephemeral human connection to the eternal natural world.

it's the first song of a collection we wrote and recorded at home during quarantine, cut loose and isolated, processing an enormous swirl of global and personal strife in real time. we'll be dropping more of those songs over the coming months. buckle up, juniors, it's coming!
