Stay Evil Stay Evil
Sort of a 90's Seattle grunge type song about life's way of keeping us away from the light. Like a dog who gets kicked because it's there...you wonder why he's turning Cujo...
Birds in a Rat Race Birds in a Rat Race
dreamy acoustic progressive folk about escaping from the 'real world'
The Demon's Eye The Demon's Eye
A twisted acoustic prog rock song...sort of a Scandinavian neo-folk vibe (Opeth, Katatonia, Tenhi etc.). Maybe *the* most popular Mountain Mirrors song of all time.
Field of Grass Field of Grass
Led Zeppelin-meets-Morphine? A haunting, groove-laden rock song that will bring you back to better times...about how day-to-day life gets you in a rut and keeps you from what's important - love.

This is also about the relativity of good and evil. Maybe some bad deeds bring good karma. And the other way around. 'headlight deer wearing hunter-skin shoes'...lol, I kinda like that lyric.

What's up, Dear Listeners...thanks for coming back to listen to Mountain Mirrors so often...and supporting my Myspace page the way you do.
It means a lot to me.Band/artist history
Re-printed from the Magnatune website :
Imagine Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, and Opeth jamming under a deep woods full moon, and you'll start to get a glimpse into Mountain Mirrors, the psych folk/rock project of multi-instrumentalist Jeff Sanders.
Sanders honed his guitar chops in the 80's jamming in metal/punk jam bands Shared Psychosis and Your Dirge, and blending original instrumental music with Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Slayer. As his tastes broadened, however, he began bringing in folk influences such as Nick Drake and Damien Rice, and creating the hypnotic folk-rock for which he is known today. It's this melodic yet mesmerizing sound that Sanders uses to explore issues of spirituality. Although his music expresses a deep yearning for enlightenment, it's Sanders' willingness to examine the eerie, lonely side of this quest that makes his music so powerful.
Though these dark, even spooky influences are definitely felt throughout his work, Sanders' music also contains a deep vein of introspection that keep it from being menacing.
Says Local Vertical about Mountain Mirrors, "Mesmerizing, mysterious, deep-thought provoking, melodic, mind-blowing. Simply awesome...and very highly recommended!".Have you performed in front of an audience?This is currently a studio project, as the guest musicians on my cds are from everywhere from Ireland to Israel to California.
But I get so many requests from people via our Myspace page who want to see us live, I'll admit the fever is growing...if it's meant to be, it will happen.
