Begun as a folk songwriter duo, Tyler Bradley and David Spalvieri-Kruse created Cold Mountain Child in 2008, after Tyler had finished recording a series of lo-fi autumnal songs titled ‘’And All I’ve Done is Walk Around and Hide in Leaves". The duo collaborated on piano and guitar arrangements to release their first official album, “Stillness Singing” in 2009. Layers of woodsy, wintery tones and hushed vocal harmonies were all blanketed in an analogue, lo-fi esthetic. Lyrically the album mirrored Tyler’s travels throughout Peru as well as inner journeys of meditation and sacred plant explorations.
