It may seem like putting five grown men in a van and sending them on the road is a tall order, but when you're looking at a row of three or four guitars (depending on whether someone's on an organ) and four microphones so that at times you've got twangy, angelic harmonies so dense you can't figure exactly what goes where only that it sounds lovely, it seems a small price to pay to be squished in a van.  Anchored by the honestly earthy vocals of Russell Pollard, Everest has created 11 songs of acoustic pop brilliance on Ghost Notes - released by Neil Young's Vapor Records and recorded in Elliott Smith's former room, New Monkey Studio, on classic vintage equipment, recorded and mixed entirely to analog tape.  If the recording credentials don't immediately make you realize this band is for real, if you dig into the band members resume file, you'll find tours of duty spent with Sebadoh, the Folk Implosion, Ealimart, Slydell, John Vanderslice, Mike Stinson and the Watson Twins and a video on their MySpace with the band being accompanied by various members of My Morning Jacket.
