Our Take

Prepare yourself for a musical journey like no other with MOUNTAIN's debut album, "First Steps." This quintessentially British record takes you on a rollercoaster of sound, blending rock, jazz, and a hint of folk to create a unique sonic landscape that will leave you begging for more.

From the opening track, "Morning Mist," you are immediately transported to the misty moors of the English countryside, with haunting vocals and swirling guitars that envelop you like a warm hug from a distant relative you met once at a family reunion. As the album progresses, you find yourself lost in a whirlwind of emotions, from the introspective ballad "Lost in the Highlands" to the foot-stomping anthem "Climb Every Mountain."

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "First Steps." MOUNTAIN isn't afraid to delve into darker territory, with tracks like "Valley of Shadows" exploring the depths of human emotion with raw honesty and vulnerability. And just when you think you've got the album all figured out, they hit you with a curveball like "Electric Sheep" – a psychedelic masterpiece that defies categorisation and leaves you questioning your own existence.

Overall, "First Steps" is a triumph of British music, a bold statement from a band unafraid to push boundaries and challenge conventions. So strap in, dear listeners, and get ready for a wild ride – because MOUNTAIN is here to shake up the music scene one step at a time.

About the artist

The Vagrants/Energy/Mountain

Ah, Mountain – the enigmatic musical powerhouse that has been rocking stages and melting faces since the dawn of time (well, at least since the late ‘60s). With their unique blend of hard rock, blues, and psychedelic influences, this band has carved out a niche for themselves in the annals of music history. Fronted by the legendary guitarist Leslie West, Mountain burst onto the scene with their debut album “Climbing!” in 1970. Packed with blistering riffs, soulful vocals, and epic jams, it’s no wonder this record is considered a classic of the genre. But Mountain is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane – they’re still out there, touring and recording new music to this day. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with West’s towering presence and powerhouse vocals still commanding the stage after all these years. With hits like “Mississippi Queen” and “Theme for an Imaginary Western” under their belt, Mountain have proven themselves to be true masters of the rock genre. Their music is a testament to the power of a well-crafted riff and a killer hook, and their influence can be heard in countless bands that have come after them. So if you’re looking for a band that knows how to bring the thunder and leave you in awe, look no further than Mountain. These rock legends are still going strong, and their music is as potent as ever. Put on some Mountain, turn it up to 11, and prepare to be blown away.
