Mt. Desolation was formed in 2010 by Tim and Jesse, band mates of the hugely successful English band Keane.

Five years later, in April this year, Tim and Jesse are back with their 3rd album; ‘Through Crooked Aim’. Filmic. Atmospheric. Classic, Americana and Folk influences peppered throughout, it’s a journey that rolls through valleys, painting its own rich, vivid pictures inhabited by troubled, nuanced characters looking for ways to keep going.
Recorded at Jesse’s studio, Old Jet in Suffolk, an old US Airforce base turned creative arts community, added its own majesty to proceedings.
