Recording

David Johnson took the controls for the recording of our debut cd. Weeknights and weekends in 2010 were spent in his Surrey Hills studio. The process helped us to refine and expand our sound and the final record exceeded expectations.



Residency at The Workshop

For most of 2009 and 2010 we had an ongoing residency - with a monthly gig at The Workshop in Melbourne. It gave us the chance to stretch out and experiment with our sound, improve our live performance and develop the songs that became Dark Mountain Music.

The General Assembly

The General Assembly is a band based in Melbourne, Australia.

Our songs have been described as everything from 'bewitching...imaginative and evocative" (Inpress) to "fucking great" (Amanda Palmer - former Dresden Doll).

We add ambience, loops, beats and bass to a more traditional guitar-based line-up.
