This is a classic "grows on you" album. That happened even as I listened to the dozen songs for the first time, each song sounding better than the previous one. Then I liked the whole album even better the 2nd time. At the beginning, though, I wasn't particularly buzzed about this new spinoff project from Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin. It has a pretty mellow, old-timey vibe, with mostly slower-tempo songs. It's a stretch to call this "rock 'n' roll," although I suppose it is, in the same way The Band made rock. There are flavors of gospel, country blues, and other traditional styles. The Keane guys are joined in this endeavor by members of Mumford & Sons, Noah & The Whale and The Killers. In sum, it's a likable collection of tunes, perhaps even better than the last couple of Keane things.

First the bad news: if you were looking forward to Mt. Desolation (both this album and the group) as an alternative rock side project by the members of the English group Keane, prepare for a letdown. Largely abandoning their signature piano rock and electric guitar sounds, Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin have provided us a very memorable, if at times mellow, travelogue of a journey through an inner desolation and wilderness.
This, of course leads to the good news. I consider this album a surprising musical breakthrough for both the Rice-Oxley and Quin, and the members of The Killers, Noah & the Whale and Mumford & Sons who join them. Regardless of whether this album is what you first expect (there are a pair of more alternative rock tracks in "Bitter Pill" and "Pushed Around"), listen to the previews and decide if you too are ready to broaden your musical horizons with Mt. Desolation.

Mt. Desolation's music is hard to classify. Alternative country or folk seems like a better fit than alt-rock. I am enjoying the mellow sounds, which are much less pop than Keane.

Splendid Desolation
I had read that this album was an attempt by Tim and Jesse from Keane to forge a more rootsy and "Americana" sound. Read more

A Great Different Sound
As a big fan of Keane I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of the album. Very different sounding. My favorites are Anne Ford and Halo Of Fireflies.

Good record. Pretty mellow but songs are very good.
This record really is pretty good. Most of the songs are sung by Jesse Quinn or Tim Rice-Oxley of Keane. Good lyrics and songs you actually remember. Read more

Offshoot better than the original?
So this record surprised me in a huge way. I bought it after a brief sampling, hoping that it'd sound similar to the older Keane (as opposed to the last record that represented a... Read more

Amazing!
Ran into these guys during a Mumford & Sons concert. They were amazing live, and the album is stellar!

Folk and Country meets Alternative
All in all a pretty good album. I can't put a finger on a genre if any but it doesn't fit into the alternative rock category it was placed in. Read more

Best thing from Keane since their first album
If you like Mumford and Sons, you'll like this album. Good mellow, British country folk (?!), which I seem to dig way more than the American counterpart. Read more
