I absolutely adore the gorgeous Tuff City Kids remix of 911, which is why I was heartbroken to discover upon delivery that the vinyl EP does NOT include it.

Mt. Si is the collaboration between friends, Michael David (Classixx), Jesse Kivel (Kisses) and Sarah Chernoff (Superhumanoids). Based in LA, each member has seen success with their individual projects, but after coming together during the recording sessions for Classixx’s album, Hanging Gardens, discovered they had creative chemistry as a trio. As Jesse tells it, “Mike and I wrote a track that I was supposed to sing on, but Sarah stopped by the studio and stole the show. It was obvious that the three of us share musical sensibilities, yet each bring something different to the project. After that, we started working on songs together, taking a loose and relaxed approach to things, never settling until we had a great track.”
The group assumed the name Mt. Si and signed with Cascine to release their 2016 EP Limits: a collection of four shimmering electronic pop cuts that instantly caught the attention of culture critics worldwide.
Since releasing Limits, Mt. Si has continued their unhurried approach while working on their own projects: Jesse became a dad and released an EP under his own name, Michael launched another album with Classixx featuring a diverse range of guests including Passion Pit, How To Dress Well, Harriet Brown and T-Pain, and Sarah focused on her own material, collaborating with Nadastrom and self-releasing her debut solo LP on the heels of Superhumanoids disbanding. Even still, they found time to continue collaborating.
With their newest record, the 911 EP, Mt. Si once again finds the sweet spot, delivering a second set of electronic pop par excellence. The three members’ individual strengths shine brightly, but ultimately come together with a unique and unparalleled harmony. The material is distinctly Californian in its easy-going pacing, while a consistently refined choice of melodies expands its reach. In the words of Gorilla vs. Bear, Mt. Si is “more than just a side project.”
The 911 EP will be complemented by a remix pack featuring reworks by dance mainstays Tuff City Kids and LA producer Benedek.

Something about this album particularly, I can listen to it for hours. A song about moving on, about changing, about longing. All so beautifully rendered, form and content both. CRC.KZM
