Glory Hope Mountain

Paper Bag Records is proud to announce the release of the Acorn's newest album, GLORY HOPE MOUNTAIN. This ambitious album is an homage to lead singer Rolf Klausener's mother, Gloria Esperanza Montoya. Based on interviews recorded in 2006 and recorded over 9 months, the sometimes haunting, sometimes exuberant tones of GLORY HOPE MOUNTAIN follow both hope and tragedy in Montoya's native Honduras - a mother dying in childbirth, flash floods, an abusive father - and an ultimately life-affirming move to Montreal in the 1970s. An intensely personal and heartfelt record, GLORY HOPE MOUNTAIN is part historical narrative and part surreal fairy tale.
