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.

Winter Lyrics

Eastmountainsouth

was it really
years ago
did you need me
well, I'll never know
I'm sorry for clinging
I'm sorry for wanting more
my heart was there for you pounding down your door
maybe it was timing
maybe I was too much
running behind you
pushing my love
well, you weren't ready
and you said you thought I knew
but I was taken by your beauty
I was lost inside of you
winter made a sound
maybe next time if you need me
I'll be around... He'll be around... He'll be around
He'll be around
I never meant to swallow you
you never were my savior maybe just my lover
maybe nothing more
now one more winter
has passed so silently
and I'm tired of longing
that you'll come back to me
winter made a sound
maybe next time
if you need me... yeah you'll need me
and winter made a sound
I know if you love me
I'll be around He'll be around He'll be around
He'll be around
now one more winter I know now one more winter I
know...
hey yeah... hey... yeah...
