Speck Mountain's album, Some Sweet Relief, is some great psychedelic folk, complemented by slow moving bass lines, hazy guitar riffs, simple drums, light organ drones, and haunting vocals. With an obvious roots influence forming a solid bass for the album, members Karl Briedrick and Marie-Claire Balabanian are able to take their music to new and interesting directions, while still retaining a sense of continuity. Speck Mountain has managed to keep their record accessible by using simple yet engaging lyrics, that are nicely accented by unique musical motives in each piece. This album has worked to fuse together seemingly contradictory genres in order to create a pleasant surprise for the listener, and is worth your attention.
