Mount Saint Elias is an indie-rock/indie-folk band based in Oakland, CA. Their expansive sound blends the organic tones of acoustic guitar and harmony-laden vocals with distorted electric guitars and abstract samples. Their high-energy live shows bring a no-boundary rock-and-roll spirit to an art-pop catchiness in a pairing that is both sincere and surprising.
Originally from Kentucky, singer/songwriter Joey Coe incorporates elements of the folk music he grew up with, employing a heavily literate lyrical style and a raw and resonant vocal approach. The band -Luna Fuentes, Matteo Lovik, Josiah Johnson (the Head and the Heart), and KC Van der Zee- hails from across California and South America and from across the gender spectrum.
The band began around a campfire as Coe and vocalist Tatyana Schmid met working as adventure travel guides. The two would decide to move together to Oakland, CA with another guide, Matteo Lovik, to start a band. The Chilean couch surfer crashing at their house became the fourth member and the band was up and running.
The band's story took a tragic turn when Schmid was killed in a bicycle accident in late 2018. The songs “Juicy Love,” “The Call Home,” and “Gravity of Grief” are written for her- and for all those on the other side of the veil. Her work can be heard on “My Favorite Regrets.” “Cigarettes and Summer,” and “Everywhere Ghost.”
“Rousing and heartfelt, evocative and ebullient.” – American Songwriter
