Ambient folk-pop duo Speck Mountain—comprised of Karl Briedrick and Marie-Claire Balabanian—released their sophomore record Some Sweet Relief this past March on Carrot Top Records. Splashy drums, reverb-filled guitars, organ, and the occasional brass instrument paint the band's dreamy landscapes along with Balabanian's sweet and drifting vocals. Fans of Mojave 3, Mazzy Star, and Cat Power should check out "I Feel Eternal" below.
