Trevor Thornton began recording as Kittinfish Mountain in 2002 after Wayne Coyne called him to say that he could not be the new guitarist for The Flaming Lips, despite the enthusiasm exhibited in the unsolicited audition CD that he (Trevor) had made and sent to Wayne during an extended period of unemployment.

Kittinfish Mountain's music is a dense mélange of sound that sometimes resembles music as you've come to understand it, and sometimes just sounds like something happening to you, or around you, or down the street in a house that nobody ever seems to go into or come out of but there's always this sort of bluish light coming from the windows, like there's a TV on in there.

Trevor is also a librarian and sometimes makes art with video. He does all of this in North Carolina, where he lives with his family. He's been making music as Kittinfish Mountain more or less steadily since he started and is unlikely to stop until such time as he is physically or mentally unable to continue, or is forcibly compelled to stop by the State or some oppressive power hitherto unknown.

This is Trevor talking now. If you're reading this, thank you, and if you listen to my music, thank you even more. There's just so much music in the world (which is great), and so much else to do and think about and care about (which is a mixed bag), and it's hard to get anybody to pay attention, and sometimes it makes you think that there's no point in trying, because when you really get down to it, there's no compelling reason for this music, or any music, or anything else to exist at all, and yet there it is, everywhere. And here we all are, in the middle of everything.

. . .

Anyway, thank you for listening, and good luck to all of us.
