Moustache Mountain

Moustache Mountain is Mike Tolan of Akron, Ohio. Mike is an accomplished guitarist, recording and touring extensively as a member of The Six Parts Seven (Suicide Squeeze). He also has his own indie-rock outfit, Talons', which is a part of the I, Absentee roster as well. Moustache Mountain (yes, the misspelling is intentional) is Mike's solo ambient outlet. He's been recording under the name for a few years now, frequently self-releasing hand-made 3"s and CDrs in extremely small quantities. In 2008, he completed a split double 3" with his friend Warren Kroll, better known as Forrest. It was brought to I, Absentee, who preserved the spirit of both artists' past self-released packages. 'Anyteazers / Swepstone Songs' was an entirely hand-made affair, limited to a mere 25 copies. A bigger, combined release was agreed upon by all the parties, and soon after U-Cover picked up the split for European release, adding on a new installment from Ontayso. A second, digital split with Forrest, entitled 'Sleeping Snakes' surfaced online in 2009. Mike continues to self-release Moustache Mountain recordings, as well as planning more material for I, Absentee in the future.
