<\/u>Produced By Tim Carbone at Silo Sound Studio in Denver
Album Release Date: June 18, 2021<\/strong>\u201cButte La Rose<\/em> is a freewheeling road-trip through the soul of American music with visits to Bourbon Street, the California coast, and all-night mountain parties in their Colorado home, as the band speeds down the highway carrying a trunk full of good times with Lowell George riding shotgun and Leftover Salmon hanging out the window.\u201d —Tim Newby, <\/strong>Americana UK<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>\"\"First Single \u201cSad Summer\u201d ~ Out Today<\/strong>“\u2019Sad Summer\u2019 has a playful hook and surf-pop beat that would fit right in on a 60\u2019s \u2018Best of the Beach\u2019 album. Still, it maintains a modern groove and creative sound that will have a new generation of music lovers dancing along.\u201d —Festy GoNuts<\/strong><\/a>Stream or buy \u201cSad Summer\u201d–> <\/strong>https:\/\/outnow.io\/t\/sadsummer<\/strong><\/a>\"\"Tenth Mountain Division <\/strong>

With Producer Tim Carbone<\/strong> (Railroad Earth) at the helm, the band recorded their third studio album, Butte La Rose<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>with engineer Todd Divel <\/strong>(Hard Working Americans, Fruition) at Silo Sound Studio<\/strong>. 
Tenth Mountain Division is built upon the long-friendship of mandolinist Winston Heuga<\/strong> and guitarist MJ Ouimette<\/strong>. The two first met and started playing music together in high school, eventually landing at the University of Colorado in Boulder together where they formed Tenth Mountain Division as an acoustic trio. Over the next few years they added drummer Tyler Gwynn<\/strong> and keyboardist Campbell Thomas<\/strong>. Soon after their debut album (Cracks in the Sky)<\/em> in 2016, the band\u2019s lineup solidified with the addition of bassist Andrew Cooney <\/strong>and so did their sound: a high-energy fusion of roots-inspired, Southern Rock boogie that heads into unchartered territories. This is elevated even more with all members sharing in the songwriting, vocals, and arrangements. The band is named in honor of the famed military unit the 10th Mountain Division, the WWII pioneers of mountain combat who founded Vail, CO and many other ski areas across the country. 
With ten songs, including one instrumental, Butte La Rose <\/em><\/strong>captures the essence of Tenth Mountain Division\u2014fun, danceable, and surprisingly thoughtful and heartfelt<\/strong>. Ouimette calls it, \u201ca snapshot of TMD\u2019s last year of touring fused with new offerings that will intrigue the ear with stylistic diversity, unified by the personality etched in each song.\u201d
Bringing together some of the hottest horns from the area\u2014Scott Flynn<\/strong> (ODESZA) on trombone, Gabriel Mervine <\/strong>(Lettuce, Karl Denson, The Colorado Symphony) on trumpet, and Nathan Peoples<\/strong> (Coral Creek) on saxophone\u2014the results of these sessions can be heard on two of the albums stand out tracks: the album\u2019s fiery opener \u201cHot Sweaty South<\/strong>,\u201d and <\/strong>deeper into the album, with it\u2019s classic Memphis soul vibes from the horns to the hook, \u201cGot Too Excited<\/strong>.\u201d 
Synth-pop meets surf-rock in a melancholic lament about the pitfalls of heartbreak in \u201cSad Summer<\/strong>,\u201d while the powerful and somber \u201cGet Out of My Head<\/strong>,\u201d \u201cBurning Heart,<\/strong>\u201d and the eerie final track, \u201cBig Blue Sky<\/strong>\u201d run deep and dark. 
Taking a different turn and bringing forth a lighter mood are the subtly sweet \u201cHighland Morning<\/strong>,\u201d <\/strong>featuring special guest Elliott Peck<\/strong> (Midnight North) on harmony vocals; the inspiring and hopeful instrumental epic \u201cSpring Chicken<\/strong>;\u201d the slick guitar and bass rocker, \u201cDrown You With the Bottle<\/strong>; and the groovin\u2019 \u201cGirl Like You<\/strong>.\u201d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo by Mountain Trout PhotographyIn 2019 the band traveled from coast-to-coast to play festivals like Summer Camp, WinterWonderGrass, Aiken Bluegrass Festival, ARISE, Yarmony, and Leftover Salmon\u2019s Boogie at the Broadmoor; progressively bigger shows including the Boulder Theater, Gothic Theater, Vilar Center, and Ford Amphitheater; as well as sold out shows at their first appearances in New York City, Boston, and Chicago. They took the plunge back into the studio in early 2020, primed for spring tour, and then Covid hit.  After canceling their 2020 tour they put together a Covid-safe plan to get back into the studio to finish the album.
In a recent interview with The Colorado Sound<\/em>, Gwynn says, \u201cThe pandemic was a real shock to the system for the band and us as individuals. We went from having a headlining Bluebird Theater show and a six-week tour around to the US, seeing a different city every night, to not being able to leave the house. It put a lot of things on pause for us. That being said, it wasn\u2019t all negative. It gave us a chance to catch our breaths and look at our creative enterprise from simply the musical standpoint. With no shows at first. we could really dive into the new tunes we have been working on the last year or so. When we were able to actually record them at Silo Studios a few months ago it was clear we had evolved and grown as a band in a short time.\u201d
The album takes you on a journey deep into the psyche of the band. Festy GoNuts<\/em> says, \u201cEach song shows a different side of the band \u2014funky, playful, poppy, serious, acoustic, electric\u2014 but always remaining true to TMD. From start to finish, Butte La Rose <\/em>tells a story and paints a picture that is a true testament to the talent, creativity, and dedication of Tenth Mountain Division.”
Butte La Rose<\/em> is a follow up to 2018\u2019s In Good Company<\/em><\/strong> which Live for Live Music<\/em> declared was \u201cchock full of raw rock and roll, with a savory listening experience guaranteed for all.\u201d  In September of 2020, Tenth Mountain Division released a stand alone single and animated music video <\/strong>music video for their single \u201c<\/strong>9 to 5<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d The band also created their own music and comedy webisode series<\/strong>, TMDtv<\/strong><\/a>, which they aired during the Fall of 2020.<\/td>		Butte La Rose

Kind Words About <\/strong>Butte La Rose<\/em><\/strong>:
<\/strong>\u201cThe experience of listening to TMDs new record, Butte La Rose<\/em>, instantly takes me to a place. I feel like I’m on the bus, windows down, cruising through the south. But something’s different: there’s no time, decade, or era… the mood is simultaneously classic, modern, happy, sad, earthy, and intergalactic. TMD and Carbone have tapped into a new level of artistry and creativity that will undoubtedly lead to great things in the future.\u201d –Erik Deutsch<\/strong> (The Chicks, Leftover Salmon, Shooter Jennings)
\u201cI am really enjoying the new sounds from Tenth Mountain Division. It\u2019s a tie dye swirl of edgy yet familiar sounds and great songs. All of the musicianship and singing is on point. A few standouts for me are \u2018Burning Heart,\u2019 \u2018Girl Like You,\u2019 and \u2018Got Too Excited.\u2019 I can hear the touch that Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth puts on this project as producer. Give it a spin!\u201d —Jeremy Garrett <\/strong>(The Infamous Stringdusters)
\u201cMaking Butte La Rose <\/em>with Tenth Mountain Division was like being a kid in a candy store. The songs all have their own personality and the band was open to exploring new sounds and ways to approach how each song was recorded. The spirit of wanting to get the essence of each song permeated the sessions and I hear it every time I listen to it.\u201d —Tim Carbone<\/strong>
