. Out of the Frying Pan and Into Fire Hand me measuring cup, a sack of flour light dusting Draw the curtains shut, to block the view of lightning Pass the spatula, to stir the pot it’s boiling Turning the temperature up a little higher out of the frying pan and into fire Lay down the tablecloth with silverware so shiny Watch the water froth with cinnabar and sinter Christ it’s getting hot, will we meet our maker? Turning the temperature up a little higher out of the frying pan and into fire

about

"Rosy Tin Teacaddy's All Mountains Are Men is an impressive piece of work that finds this duo extending themselves beyond the 'homefire' folksiness of their first album and into a world of Kiwi gothic and folktronica in which the possibilities seem wide open". Nick Bollinger, Radio NZ, National.

For six weeks during 2010 Rosy Tin Teacaddy were exiled to New Zealand's most volatile landscape; the Rotorua Lakes District. In the shadow of Tarawera, the mountain which unleashed a devastating volcanic eruption in 1886, Rosy Tin Teacaddy summoned the spirits and stories left buried under ash and mud.

Overlooking Lake Tarawera, Billy and Betty plastered the walls inside their cottage with maps and memories, then embarked on expeditions; visiting relics, historical heroes, and trekking to what was once the eighth wonder of the world – the Pink and White Terraces. In their journeys they discovered the characters, news reports and legends that would fuel the imaginings of travelling back in time.

By forging new interpretations of existing myths, the Wellington folk duo carved their own into this full-length album; All Mountains Are Men. Written and recorded entirely in isolation at the cottage by the lake, this new collection of songs extends Rosy Tin Teacaddy's sonic palette by layering field-recordings, omnichord and cello on a bed of interlacing vocal harmonies and acoustic guitars. From an old-fashioned camera flash comes contemporary musical story-telling; cinematic and intimate.
