Silent Old Mtns. began in the Spring of 2011, when a one-off concert snowballed into a full time regional act. Their blend of Indie Rock, Folk, and Poetry create a style all their own that earned them a quick and loyal following.

The band released their debut album, Velvet Raccoon, June 19th, 2012. At the release of Velvet Raccoon, the band began touring nationally in a re-purposed short school bus. The band averaged 100 performances a year from 2011-2013.

In October 2013, the band decided to take a hiatus, which lasted until July 11, 2015. After reuniting, the band released a new song in October 2015 titled Trenches. Trenches was recorded in a span of twelve hours in an abandoned newspaper warehouse, and was the band’s first release since Velvet Raccoon.

After the release of Trenches, the band began writing new material that would become the makings of a sophomore record that was released late in 2019.
