]]> We’ve been pretty big fans of North Carolina-based band Mount Moriah ever since the release of their self-titled album back in 2011, an album which challenged musical and societal norms with admirable courage and distinct similarities to the classic Southern Gothic novels of yesteryear. The equally-excellent follow-up Miracle Temple saw a band with growing confidence, taking strength from the previous release to face darkness and sadness head on with the same sense of spirit. A three song 7″ (released earlier this month) suggested their newest work would be even more robust and inspiring.

How To Dance, due on Merge Records next year, is the proper successor to Miracle Temple. Building upon the 7″ songs, the album sees the band pushing passed their troubles into something positive and mysterious, a conglomeration of symbolism, mysticism, universality and other cosmic forces which pretty much equates to Southern Gothic 2.0. You can listen to lead single ‘Cardinal Cross’ below:

Also on the album is the previously released ‘Calvander’, which comes with a great lyric video:

How To Dance is due to be released on the 4th March via Merge Records. You can pre-order it now on CD or vinyl, with the first 250 records coming in limited-edition ‘coke bottle clear’. You can also buy the three song 7″ featuring ‘Calvander’ here.10_700_700_536_mtmoriah_mini_900px
