"'Hallelujah' has been a song that has followed me personally for years. It was originally written while I was in college, around the time that the underlying story of the record takes place," shares vocalist Zane Martin. "During the weeks we spent writing, it felt right to take a song that was integral to my (self-imposed and continuous) growing process and rewriting it, shifting the lyrical focus to be in retrospect of the original song. What resulted, to me, is a blending of our individual creativities and a song that is truly us."
Father Mountain is Zane Martin (vocals, guitar), Travis Cox (bass, vocals), Jesse French (drums), and Austin Hohiemer (guitar, vocals).
Although the band now calls Nashville home, Father Mountain first began on a street corner in Owensboro, Kentucky, where they wrote the majority of their debut LP Apartment Living. As a result, it takes aesthetic influence from the feeling of growing up in perceived isolation in middle America. "In our formative years, friendships were as much a product of proximity as they were shared interests or ideologies," says Hohiemer. "As you grow up and learn how to be yourself, it can be hard to see where you fit in once you don't look like the same person you were in high school. For me, our music is a product of trying to figure out my place in the world outside of just my hometown."
Working for the first time with a third-party producer, Apartment Living was recorded and mixed in Atlanta, Georgia by Matt McClellan (Being As An Ocean, My Iron Lung, Capsize) and mastered by Jesse Cannon (Brand New, Bad Books, All Get Out), with the addition of Overslept's Elias Armao on drums. It spans various genre classifications, embracing aspects of guitar rock and pop, which allows Father Mountain to resist being aesthetically pigeonholed.
"Going into this I think we felt more comfortable as storytellers than as songwriters. We met over Bonnie Raitt; bonded over Manchester, Noname, short fiction audiobooks, and Rumi; then grew together living in a van with podcasts, Joyce manor and Jonwayne riding shotgun. That process of learning how to trust, forgive and create together is as much a story that bled on to this album as what we actually wrote about, discovering what it actually means to be friends." says Martin.
Apartment Living is the debut full-length album from Father Mountain, and will be released on November 10th, 2017. Pre-orders are available now at www.fathermountain.com.

Salt Lake City Named One of Livability.com’s Best Places to Retire, 2017
Annual list identifies and ranks America’s top cities for retirement
Today’s seniors are in search of a lifestyle as diverse and dynamic as they are. While many folks will choose to remain where they’ve spent most of their lives and built their communities, others will look for new adventures in a different location — and deciding where that place will be is an extremely important choice.
With that in mind, Livability.com has just released its Top 10 Best Places to Retire, 2017. Coming in at #10 is Salt Lake City, UT.
With the snow-capped Wasatch Range providing a majestic backdrop, Salt Lake City certainly has plenty of curb appeal. But go beyond the scenery and you will find a number of attractive reasons that Utah’s largest city is one of the Best Places to Retire. It is an active metropolis with an abundance of outdoor activities, including some of the best snow skiing in the country. The weather can vary dramatically, with snowfall in the mountains and warm, sunny conditions in downtown. There is a thriving business environment led by the health care industry, with three highly rated hospitals, as well as health sciences programs at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. All this also helps make Salt Lake City one of the 100 Best Places to Live in America.
To determine these rankings, our experts examined surveys and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Medicare, Esri, NOAA, Walk Score, the EPA and other sources, and crunched the numbers to determine the best U.S. cities for retirees. Research shows that seniors care most about health care, climate, crime rates, cost of living, housing costs and access to recreational activities — we found 10 cities that deliver on all counts, each offering a totally different lifestyle to fit a wide range of tastes and interests.
“This year’s retirement cities list perfectly reflects the diverse, dynamic lifestyles of today’s retirees,” says Winona Dimeo-Ediger, managing editor of Livability.com. “Some of these cities might surprise you, which is a good thing, because retirement looks very different in 2017 than it has in the past.”
