Spider Mountain by Dani Lee Pearce
February 18, 2022: Dani Lee Pearce (she/her) is a Pacific Northwest-born nonbinary trans creature currently living in the Midwest who has been releasing music online since 2011. Many of her songs were written during a 5 year period she was homeless, and lyrical subject matter ranges from that experience to drawing from dreams, fantasy, folklore, witchcraft, mythology, history, intense emotions, the spiritual, the mysterious and the macabre.
Her music has ranged across a multitude of moods and textures, beginning with very loose and experimental compositions and transitioning through keyboard-based prog to synth-rooted progressive pop with a distinct queer ethos. She became connected with Grimalkin Records in 2019 and her 16th and newest album, Spider Mountain, is her second release with the label.
When asking Dani what this album is about, she replied "The president should be on fire. This album should hopefully set him on fire."
Artist receives 75% of all proceeds of digital only sales. The remaining 25% supports Grimalkin's label and mutual aid fund and helps us towards sustaining our work.
Per Dani, proceeds from tapes support Grimalkin Records and will go towards artist and release development.
Lathe proceeds go back to Grimalkin and we break even if they all sell.
