Everest built their reputation the right way, grinding through the Los Angeles club circuit and earning comparisons to the classic canyon rock of Laurel Canyon's 1970s heyday. Ownerless finds the band leaning into that rootsy, unhurried sensibility while pushing toward something more expansive, the kind of record that rewards headphones and patience in equal measure. 2012 album from the L.A. rockers. Described by Everest guitarist Joel Graves as a "hopeful love letter slipped under the door," the album expands on the broad rock 'n' roll direction the band undertook with it's 2008 album, on Approach. The basic tracks on Ownerless were initially recorded live, in a smoky clubhouse next door to a chicken coop, in Cottage Grove, OR. in an effort to raise the bar above initial expectations, the band also recorded a few songs with the help of Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Booker T. Jones), with whom the band had worked on on Approach. Tracklist Side A 1. Rapture 2. Into The Grey 3. Give A Little 4. Letter 5. Never Disappoint 6. Hungry Ghost Side B 1. Raking Me Over The Coals 2.
