Mountain Announces by Scatter



Now as far as I'm aware, there are no parts of Glasgow that, like some distant pygmy village in the heart of the Congo, have remained untouched by modernity for several hundred years. Consequently, we must hail Scatter's ‘The Mountain Announces’, as a magnificent work of the imagination. Seven tracks of shimmering drone folk spirited along on the whirlwind percussion of Alex Nielson, ‘She Moves Through The Fayre’ sounds like it's being played in a forest copse by a clan of chorusing fawns and satyrs. The Mountain Announces might be ignored now, but it'll be dusted down four decades later and hailed as a lost classic, Bang the drum for it now.
