Mount Moriah will release How to Dance, their third full-length record, on February 26. How to Dance is available for pre-order now on CD and limited-edition “coke bottle” clear LP in the Merge store, or digitally via iTunes where pre-orders will receive an instant download of the first single, “Cardinal Cross.” (streaming below).
The North Carolina-based band Mount Moriah—composed of McEntire (lead vocals, guitar), Jenks Miller (lead guitar, keys), and Casey Toll (bass, keys)—seem insistent to grow. If Mount Moriah’s self-titled debut showed them standing with sea legs, determined to dream their way free from the dark crevices and corners of alt-country’s stiff template; and if Miracle Temple, their second album, called that darkness by its Southern name and met it with fire; then their latest collection of songs, How to Dance, is a devotion to the cosmic light itself: moving towards it, moving into it, becoming it.
Mount Moriah will have new tour dates to announce soon…
