About
Gungor reaffirms its status as one of music’s most imaginative outfits with <i>I Am Mountain</i>, an eclectic song collection united by a common underpinning. In contrast with the otherworldly textures of 2011’s <i>Ghosts Upon the Earth</i>, <i>I Am Mountain</i> interweaves high-gloss electronica sounds, gritty acoustic elements, and film soundtrack motifs to frame its yearning lyrics. Lead singers Michael and Lisa Gungor make their intentions clear on the album’s title tune, a widescreen number framing William Blake–like poetic imagery with swelling synthesizers and chant-along choruses. More earthy in approach are tracks like “Wayward and Torn,” a bluesy tune with the intensity of a traditional folk lament. The classical guitars and pizzicato strings of “Yesternite” contrast with the funk groove of “Let It Go” and the Auto-Tuned vocalizing of “Wandering.” The album stretches out lyrically, delving into Greek mythology on “Beat of Her Heart” and taking a bold antiwar stance on “God and Country.” Gungor blends ethereal vocals and shimmery keyboards on the contemplative “Upside Down.”
