New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ ABC Public Relations) MOVING MOUNTAINS will release their third album and Triple Crown Records debut, WAVES, on May 10. WAVES is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed FOREWORD EP (Caetera Recordings).
"Our goal with WAVES is to have someone be engaged from the start to the end," declares Gregory Dunn, singer and guitarist of the Westchester, NY-based ambient rock band.
"When the band first started, a very close friend of mine died," he continues. "That was the motivation to for all the lyrics on PNEUMAPNEUMA, FOREWORD and now this new album have all been about that...being young and having people around you die, which when you're young it's a very strange thing. A lot of it is also my struggle with understanding faith and existence...and just about questioning those ideas--and most importantly--how to overcome that to appreciate what you have," continues Dunn. (2008 - Deep Elm Records). They're very figurative and overly metaphorical, because I was embarrassed to talk about it at that time. With this new album, I said to myself that it's the last time that I'm going to write about it, so I'm going to be really blunt, honest and straightforward about the subject.
Like PNEUMA and FOREWORD before it, WAVES was recorded and produced by Gregory Dunn at the band's home studio. It was mixed by Matt Goldman (Underoath, Copeland, Anberlin) and mastered by longtime MOVING MOUNTAINS collaborator Mike Kalajian.
