After a year of solid touring, and the addition of keyboardist Keiko Devaux, the band released the six-song Tin Fist EP in early 2007 on Toronto's Paper Bag Records to warm reviews. The Acorn's newest full-length recording, Glory Hope Mountain, is a sprawling, biographical album based on the life of Rolf's mother, Gloria Esperanza Montoya. Armed with heart-drums, gut-strings, ukuleles and marimbas, The Acorn are guided by spirit voices and the rhythms of rivers.
Glory Hope Mountain was recorded in a rented house in Ottawa by recording engineer Jarrett Bartlett (of Little Bullhorn Prods). Featured on the album are members of Ohbijou, The Wooden Stars, Flecton Big Sky, Fiftymen, and many others.
