With aid from Sanders Smith, Jon Cardiello, and Lukas Phelan, on his last day in Missoula, Montana, Cooper Hepburn recorded the songs that encompass Mountain (HOYA Recordings/Diet Pop Records), the new release under the moniker Melon Painting. Exposed, personal narratives endear in isolating, through-the-screen-door folk. Merging a jangly, laid-back simplicity with points of atmospheric ambiance, the record creates an immediate connection. Melon Painting is schedule to perform on Sunday, October 29 at DIY space Planet Phitness, with Marge and Neutral Shirt.
