Editorial Reviews
Pygmy Lush, whose members have cut their teeth in some of Northern Virginia's most influential hardcore bands of the last decade including Pg.99, Majority Rule, Malady, City of Caterpillar and Crestfallen, return with their much anticipated second full-length, Mount Hope. Pygmy Lush formed in the spring of 2005 on the very day two of their previous bands, Malady and Mannequin broke up. They started out by carrying on much of the same ferocity of their previous endeavors but a massive change was afoot. Somewhere in their early practices they had started four-tracking several quieter songs with acoustic guitars and minimal percussion. Their first record, Bitter River (Robotic Empire), was noise-punk tracks mixed in with some of the quieter songs. Those more restrained songs, which had at first been an aside, began to over take the set. Mike Taylor explains, We liked the quiet stuff so much that we decided that our next plan was to write an entire quiet album; The sound suites them. The songs feel haunted. Still filled to the brim with a sense of abandon, only here they have put down their angst for introspection, traded their aggression for a slow grit. Not bad for a bunch of punks. Mount Hope was recorded at Godcity by Kurt Ballou (Converge) and mastered at Silver Sonya by TJ Lipple (Aloha). The band plans on touring the U.S. & Europe extensively in 2008 to support the record.

No More Anger,

This review is from: Mount Hope (Audio CD)
Not bad considering the band members all used to be in some pretty well known heavier acts such as Pg.99 and Majority Rule, which you can tell by listening to their first release as Pygmy Lush. I really enjoy this cd, a lot.

A beautiful album...,

This review is from: Mount Hope (Audio CD)
This is one of the most perfectly formed albums I have ever come across. So gorgeously slow, hazy, noisy, sleepy and on red vinyl if you get the chance...
