'Stealth' is the debut album by MTN LION, a Denver-based funk quartet comprising drummer Adam Deitch and guitarist Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff of Lettuce, alongside keyboardist Joey Porter and bassist Garrett Sayers of The Motet. Recorded in 2020 and 2021 when touring stopped and all four were in Denver, the album grew from informal sessions built on decades of shared history. Deitch and Smirnoff have played together for more than thirty years, earning multiple No. 1 debuts on the Billboard jazz charts and a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Porter and Sayers came up through The Motet, a long-running Colorado band that has headlined Red Rocks and built a national audience through steady touring.
On 'Stealth,' the band locks into tight, interlocking parts. Deitch and Sayers anchor a deep-pocket, syncopated groove shaped by the approach of Tower of Power bassist Rocco Prestia, while Smirnoff's guitar moves between rhythmic drive and tonal detail. Porter brings talkbox and vocoder into the core of the arrangements, giving the group a distinct sonic identity. The album spans originals and deep cuts drawing from Marvin Gaye, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, and Prince - "Herbie Hancock is maybe our biggest influence combined," Porter says. "Real instruments, no AI, and analog warmth," says Deitch. "Stealth is in line with all of MTN LION's influences and musical heroes, ranging from James Brown to Prince to Herbie Hancock to Marvin Gaye and Zapp. Fans of our longtime touring groups Lettuce and Motet, as well as fans of Funk music, will surely dig this unique, electric quartet's musical output. Put on Stealth at a party and watch everyone get up and dance!"

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
