At its core, the group is Kat Maslich and Peter Adams. Both are vocalists, instrumentalists and writers imprinted with the undeniable regional character one might expect from children of the South. Their music is an alloy of hill-country melodies, contemporary studio techniques and literary-minded lyrics that frequently trace the experience of loss. Peter describes the project's sonic evolution: "We started with acoustic and other organic sounds and then degraded them to come up with a whole new flavor. Mitchell helped us do that with his arsenal of vintage keyboards." Drummer/percussionist Quinn, with his loop-oriented style of playing, also became integral to the eastmountainsouth sound.

Show Me The River Lyrics

Eastmountainsouth

I've been a traveler of far away lands
I've got love on my mind, but death on these hands
come homeward angel, show me the way
or will fate leave me dead in the tracks where I lay
show me the river that leads to my home
back to the one that I love
show me the wind that constantly blows
and I will fly away, fly away home
since we were parted I know I have changed
you'll see the blood that was shed in the lines on my face
but now that I've turned my back on the fight
I'm gonna steal back my life like a thief in the night
chorus
I come to you through fire and snow
over high rolling hills and the valleys below
with all that I've suffered I'm still on this road
and if I hold you again will never let go.
chorus
