about

Originally composed in the Summer of 2017, this track challenges "Little Lamb" as our most psychedelic, modal fusion tune. The song uses almost exclusively the same Dominant 9sus chord for every change throughout. Recording began in the Spring of 2018, and this is one of the first tracks we're releasing without the use of a full horn section, or a keyboard player.

Who D'Snakey is a groovy, dripping wet, journey through the psychedelic aetherspace that First Mountain is borne of. While lyrics were written to the song, we decided to keep the recording instrumental, for more consistency with the rest of the EP.

lyrics

Who's the snakey?
Who's the snakey slithering 'round through my towns?
Forever taking;
Takes more than you need while you're watching me drown.

I can not deceive you; I'm the one who stole em away
When I froze him up real bad for tying you down,
did you think I was going to let him stay?

Now you're the snakey!
You're the snakey slitherin' round on my grounds!
Forever taking;
Take more than you need while you're watching me drown.
