Rachel Bennett (2024)
A creation of love & a response to the world's absurdity, Mt Fog began in an art-filled house without an internet connection in 2019 as the project of singer, producer and classically-trained multi-instrumentalist Carolyn B. Mt Fog layers sounds to create emotional landscapes, real and imagined. A conscious mycelial network, Mt Fog is Carolyn B, Andy Sells (Afrocop, Select Level, FCS North) and Casey Rosebridge (Swanderer, Crazy Eyes). Mt Fog has performed alongside artists like Anika and Tim Hecker and played a KEXP studio session, hosted by DJ Cheryl Waters. Spells of Silence was featured as a Bandcamp Daily Album of the Day and in the Seattle Times as a Washington music critics' Album of the Year.
"I wouldn't say I'm alive, but I wouldn't say I'm dead," teases Mt Fog's spectral voice between shooting-star synth sparkles on "Waiting Through These Years," pulling you deeper into her haunted electro forest. Teeming with operatic vocals, earthy synth tones and the occasional swirling violin, this sophomore gem combines the artful fragility of a Bjork record with a DIY groundedness."
-Michael Rietmulder for The Seattle Times
