Drunk With the Old Man of the Mountains
Drunk with the Old Man of the Mountains was compiled around the same time as Stapleton's other b-side clearinghouse, Automating Vol. 1, though Drunk is a decidedly more consistent affair.
The pieces presented here showcase Stapleton's natural narrative inclinations and exhibit a skewed musical sense not hindered as much by some of his more "gothic" inclinations. Especially strong in this regard is the opening "Mourning Smile" piece, exceptional in its playfulness and perverse cheerfulness. It plays with a sinister church organ redolent of old vampire horror movies, but quickly dismantles the listener's expectations with ragtime motifs.
Cover is embossed front and back to give appearance of attached photographic paintings. Insert contains 2 more photographic paintings and the release notes.
