Comic Strip
Kali has been working on a comic strip that explores the joys and pains of being a human on planet earth. If we meet this stretch goal, we'll release one hand-drawn comic per month.
Live Cover Song Video
We love taking great songs and making our own versions. We cover new songs, old songs, songs from every genre, and even songs from other centuries. If we meet this stretch goal, we'll release a high-quality film of us playing one of these carefully-arranged covers live.
Live Stream Concert
We love playing live for our fans, but with planet Earth being so big and all, it's hard to get to everyone. If we meet this stretch goal, we'll perform one 30-minute concert that will stream live to all corners of the planet.
Living the Dream - Tour the World!
Did we mention we love touring? If we can reach this stretch goal, we will quit our day jobs and become full-time musicians, promising to play at least 100 shows per year.
About
There Is No Mountain is a husband-and-wife duo that combines percussion, guitar, and an affinity for vocal harmony to create a unique brand of pop with intricate, world-music-influenced arrangements and psychedelic swirls. Reviewers have tried to peg our musical influences in genres ranging from jazz to folk, classical to psychedelic rock, and world music to doom metal (all are correct!). We usually just call it “pop with a short attention span”. We love playing music together, and the fact that other people seem to enjoy listening to it only sweetens the deal for us.

Patreon allows fans to support bands directly, cutting out the middle man, to make sure artists you love can keep doing what they love. We spent 2012-14 touring the country over and over, playing for people from Bellingham to San Diego to Savannah to Boston, and we hope that with your support we can spend more time on the road again and less time working day jobs.
So far, since we started this campaign in spring '15, our patrons have gotten our back catalog for free, early access to the entirety of our upcoming album "Luna" in 3-song-per-month chunks, and starting in August, exclusive access to new song demos. If you pledge even $1 / month, you'll get access to all of this, including the full digital download of "Luna", which still isn't officially out yet. You can expect triumphant tales, a mysterious ode to hiking, dark places that remind you of someplace you may have been, joyous melodies, songs about adventure, songs about fear, and even a song that we dusted off from the 1st century CE. Going forward, we'll also keep you well-entertained with new videos, cover songs, comics, pieces of mixed media art that we make together and stories that will invite you into our world.
Your support doesn't just go to the cost of equipment, recording and expenses. It goes towards us being able to tour the world and bring our music to the far edges of Planet Earth, starting with your town! Your support gives us the opportunity to spend time improving our craft, to play and record more, and to live out our dreams. For this reason, we are humbly grateful for every dollar you choose to put towards this project, and we love you.
