Mountains by Hail, Meteor!
In celebration of Te Wiki o te reo Māori, here’s our song Mountains.
“Mountains tells the pūrākau of Aoraki and his brothers – atua from the sky – as they traversed the realms below on their waka. They became stranded when their waka hit a reef. In time they froze into Kā tiritiri o te Moana – The Southern Alps. The song is told from the perspective of youngest of the brothers, and are his laments to his older brother Aoraki.”

Hail, Meteor! is focused on dense, chaotic harmony, on gasped melody and swaying widths of space.
