Last night in Chicago in one direction the sky looked like the roof of some long-ago cathedral with gloriously lit clouds from the setting sun, while in the other direction you could see a storm rolling in across the city.  We were right in the middle on a roof top wondering if the ominously whipping wind would push the clouds over to our side or if the brilliant sunset would explode instead.  That moment in the middle is where Speck Mountain seems designed to operate.  In the almost 9 minutes of "Girl Out West," the sonic build glides along, with no pesky insistence on grandeur, the song hits the sublime seemingly without trying.  RCRD LBL exclusive demo "Backsliding" is a song that will be featured on the upcoming Some Sweet Relief.  According to Karl Briedrick, one half of the Speck Mountain song writing team (along with Marie-Claire Balabanian), "this version was an accident.  We think it has a certain intimacy because we didn't know anyone was listening or would ever hear it."  Grab both tunes and get ready for the storm.
