“The Mountain” – the 3rd studio album by the London-born prog starlets HAKEN. Mixed and mastered by the legendary Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Symphony X etc.). Classic Rock presents Prog Magazine calls them "prodigiously talented youths that will benefit prog." and Outburn Magazine (USA) says: "Say hello to Haken, your newest musical masturbation fantasy."

“To Quince, "Motherland" means our natal home, worthy of love, critique, and support. It represents the terrain of those who identify as women, as mothers of varying types - creators and producers and life-givers and life-sacrificers. Mother-land is both embodiment and inversion of Emily Dickinson’s “Nature, the gentlest mother” - capable of supporting all life, and of obliterating it with forces as simple as a breath of air. This album features never-before-heard recordings of pieces by Laura Steenberge, Gilda Lyons, Cara Haxo, and Jennifer Jolley. As long as we have breath left in us, we will sing our gratitude, our love, our frustration, and our hopes. There is no greater privilege.” – from the liner notes by Quince Ensemble.
