    The Mountain represents not only a point of no return and a cornerstone for the Heartless Bastards; the album's a personal triumph of desolate determination.
  2. Paste Magazine
    88
    This album isn't merely a single peak, but a whole mountain range.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    50
    Rather than erupting with new insights, The Mountain sags audibly beneath the weight of its new strata.

    Rocks like few others. Wennerstrom's voice is perfect for this music. Early nominee for record of the year (with AC Newman a close 2nd).

    Music (low and behold from the States) that makes you put down your Sonos controller and go out and see a show.

    This is the female counterpart to The Black Keys, and they are still signed on the Fat Possum label; well crafted Blues Rock with stunning vocal work. You won't be disappointed.… Expand
