Playtime For John Mountain is an album caught somewhere in time; between Zombies 'Odessey and Oracle' [sic] pop, '60s film soundtracks, four-part baroque harmonies, and the pastoral soundscapes of contemporaries like Mountains in the Sky, Caribou, or even Wilco.
The third full-length album from this Melbourne four-piece (and their first in five years), is dreamy, lush, and atmospheric - an accomplished equal to Sensory Projects' terrific team of mood masters, The Sand Pebbles, Canon Blue, Mono and Hood.
Maybe it's all this warm weather making me romantic, but this could be the perfect soundtrack for spring. Pack a hamper and get your wine on.
