about
"O'er The Mountain" was recorded in 2002 during the last months of The Cassettes original lineup of Shelby Cinca on Guitar/Vocals and the Dead Meadow rhythm section; Steve Kille (Bass) and Stephen McCarty (Drums) with the additional assistance of Jennifer Potter on 2nd Guitar. Finished post-humously when the band in this configuration decided to part ways. These recordings are a culmination of late night sessions between Shelby Cinca and Steve Kille obsessing over Wings, T. Rex, and Badfinger records, creating their own take of inspired and positive rock tunes. Driving songs such as "All The People" and "This Will Pass" with their hopefully Lennon-esque message. Also herein is the rare vocal performance of drummer Stephen McCarty on "Meteor Rock". The opening and closing tracks of "O'er The Mountain" illuminate a prescient vision of what was to come with the mystic country/steampunk sound that The Cassettes later adopted on the album "'Neath The Pale Moon". Conceptually, the prequel of a musical journey that begins with an un-named protagonist through mountainous terrain and enchanted forests. Recorded by Shelby Cinca and lauded as one of his favorite 8-Track recordings he has ever done. Mixed later in the year 2002 by Chad Clark at Silver Sonya and now self-released after an obscure Italian CD pressing in 2003 on Alice Records. This digital release also contains original demos of Shelby and Steve recorded at the fabled Mystic Gnome Mobile Studios in Arlington, VA at The Stonehenge House.
