Our Take

Mountaineer's latest offering, "When The Air Is Bright They Shine," takes listeners on a sonic journey through dreamy landscapes and ethereal soundscapes. The band's unique blend of post-rock, shoegaze, and atmospheric metal creates a hypnotic listening experience that is both captivating and cathartic.

From the opening track, "Hymnal," to the epic closer, "Stellarvore," Mountaineer showcases their musical prowess and emotional depth. The intricate guitar work, swirling synths, and dynamic drumming combine to create a lush, immersive sound that envelops the listener like a warm blanket on a cold winter's night.

Vocalist Miguel Meza's haunting melodies and introspective lyrics add another layer of depth to the album, inviting listeners to reflect on themes of loss, longing, and redemption. Tracks like "Ghost Story" and "Shot Through with Sunbeams" stand out as highlights, with their evocative instrumentation and poignant storytelling.

Overall, "When The Air Is Bright They Shine" is a masterful blend of beauty and melancholy, showcasing Mountaineer's talent for creating atmospheric music that leaves a lasting impression. Whether you're a fan of post-rock, shoegaze, or just good music in general, this album is definitely worth a listen. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Mountaineer's music transport you to another world.
