Nominated for the prestigious 2009 Polaris Music Prize,
Mountain Meadows is the critically acclaimed second album from Canadian alt-country trio of
Mark Sasso,
Casey Laforet, and Stephen Pitkin, aka
Elliott Brood. Produced by
John Critchley, the 2008 follow-up to
Ambassador was recorded in several unorthodox locations (town halls, log cabins, front rooms) and features 13 examples of their self-described "death country" sound including the single "Fingers and Tongues." ~ Jon O'Brien
