Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band hails from Seattle, and the quintet has developed a sound as large and majestic as the volcano in its name. Often compared to Animal Collective, with whom the band shares a producer (Scott Colburn), Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band combines the best elements of AC with the guitar legends of old. The group’s self-titled debut dropped in March on Dead Oceans, and the band recently kicked off its second U.S. tour.
