Description

While it has only been 18 months since Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band s self-titled debut, they have traveled what feels like thousands of miles. Where the Messengers Meet is in real time, an expansion of the sound of the band s eponymous debut. They take those frantic, skewed elements and stretch them out, allowing room to breathe and blossom. Thematically, Where the Messengers Meet is an exercise in contrasts: The delicate and gentle, the dark and furious. Mt St Helens Vietnam Band collects powerful compositions into a cohesive whole held together with lush production and a haunting atmosphere.
