Free Music Review: Best Album of 2008
Hit: 5 Stars
What a terrific album. One you'll need to search for but the search will be worth it because this band is as good as it gets in the sort of rustic indie rock, guitar driven band, that is simply the sound of California. Made up of members and session muso's who have been around a bit but finally found their home in Everest.
The most attractive aspect is the shear immediacy and up front intimacy of the songs. The first four tracks come on like an old friend. The pop/rock jangle and soaring harmonies of "Rebels in the roses" is a bit Golden Smog-like. "Bees" is fun, "Into your soft heart" lovely!! Is it about Chandra Watson, from the Watson Twins? Robert Pollard the band leaders wife?
Then the Lo-Fi strum of "Only in Your mind" A lovely song with great guitar work very, Sun Kil Moon. Next up is more slow burn 60's pop, Black Covers more UK than US. A lot going on in this one with almost psychedelic aspects to the arrangement and some fuzzy guitar work, bnuilding to a Pink floyd-like peak, summit probably more apt.
(Realisation, thats why they're called Everest)
"Angry storm" is next with its Louris/Olson likeness (Ready for the Flood)pretty and pure, but biting lyrics. "There's no life in killing time" augmented with great Country guitars, Pedal Steel.
Anyway its a bit like I'm telling you the end of the movie. Take my word for it this is one of the best albums I've come across in recent years, thanks to the bloke in the Music Oasis in small town New Zealand who is importing it direct and recommended it to me.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Free Music Review: Warm groovy ride from beginning to end.
Hit: 5 Stars
What a great new band. Everest breaks the mould of the top 40 jungle and offers a refreshing jump back to great musical times. Full of talent and a spectacular live band.
In addition to catchy tunes that carry you along a musical journey from beginning to end, the recorded sound quality is amazing. Think warm vintage sounding Skynnard or CCR with a modern high resolution touch.
If you are a vinylphile then definitely get the vinyl (yes vinyl!) in addition to the CD.
Free Music Review: This album reminds of why I love music again.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the first time I have ever felt the urge to write a review for anything on Amazon before. I waited a few weeks after getting it before writing to make sure that the sometime initial glimmer of an album didn't wear off. After coming back to it, I can honestly say that I enjoy it more with every listen. It flows effortlessly into your ears and stimulates the mind and soul.
Get it on vinyl, if you've got a turntable, as it comes as well-made double 180-gram lp set.

Hit: 5 Stars
This is a warm, honest and wonderful album. Everest gives the listener everything they could want in one sitting. There are grooves that won't let you go (Into your soft heart, I see it in your eyes), soulful melodies (rebels in the roses, angry storm) and songs that show what rock music should be (reloader, stumble waltz). If you like Neil Young, Ryan Adams and any of the alt-country stuff out there you will love Everest!Free Music Review: My Cousin
Hit: 5 Stars
I got turned on to the band because my cousin is actually Russell Pollard the lead vocals/guitar player of the band. He's been playing music here and there for years, this cd was really a big break for him and its awesome. A beautiful blend of music.
