(PR) FADER Label, the recording branch of The FADER, is pleased to announce From The Mountain To The Sea - the second full-length release by San Francisco indie rockers Birdmonster. FADER Label will unveil the much-anticipated follow up to 2006 's No Midnight on August 5, 2008 through Sony/RED Distribution.

Spearheaded by Peter Arcuni, the new album stands to be the band's most compelling work to date. Writing in the isolated wilderness of the Pacific Northwest gave Birdmonster an environment clear from distractions to focus on a more natural approach to songwriting from the ground up. On Iditarod, the band's tribute to the Alaskan race that stretches from dense forest to desolate tundra, Peter compares the treacherous race to feelings of love, loss and the unfamiliar.

From The Mountain To The Sea marks the band's development and growth as songwriters. Breaking away from their previous abrasive style and recording with producer Tom Schick (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwright, Norah Jones) at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, gave the band the ability to fully expand the sound of the record.

Their latest release shows signs of maturity in the form of subtlety, detail and delicacy. Peter explains, "we wanted to make a record that we could play not just on tour, but would also translate to more intimate settings." The result is a record with the urgency of the band's famed live shows that also builds quietly into a vivid landscape of honest sincerity. Peter accounts on New Country "We grew close with our roots tangled and the soil right up to our knees / You might bend with the breeze / You just might break my heart in three."
