The Terrapin Family Band and Eric Krasno Will Play Live Score to Chris Benchetler’s Mountains of the Moon
Chris Benchetler’s Mountains of the Moon is a feast for the eyes and the ears. It’s inspired by the world of extreme sports and set to the music of the Grateful Dead. As the film’s description notes, “Captured almost entirely at night using cutting-edge cinematography, lasers, animation, and projection mapping, the film leads viewers on a surreal journey through ocean, river, and mountain landscapes. The world’s greatest athletes, adventurers, and thinkers appear as luminous figures, navigating through the natural world.”

When it comes to discussing his vibrant and variegated career as a bandleader, songwriter and pedal steel virtuoso, Barry Sless is quick to deflect. He’s much more comfortable extolling the virtues of longtime collaborators such as David Nelson or recent cohorts like Stephen Inglis. But make no mistake about it, Barry is a badass.

In November 2024 2ŁØT released their debut album Entropy. As we wrote at that time, “The album is presented through the lens of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, a philosophical belief that everything tends toward chaos. By embracing the incalculable nature of life and injecting it into their musical approach, 2ŁØT uses their full-length release to travel the cosmos, taking the listener on a journey as they move freely after heightened consideration of who they are and what they stand for.”
REVIEW
Has any major rock artist even approached Neil Young’s level of prolificacy? Depending on whose math you trust most, Second Song is either his 50th, 51st or 52nd studio album, his solo career beginning with his self-titled 1968 set and maintained regularly ever since. Toss in the various live recordings, compilations, etc., and the total bolts past a hundred. Whatever else he may be, Neil Young is no slacker.
REVIEW
