Nashville, TN - November 27, 2017 - Indie rock band Father Mountain is thrilled to share a brand new video for their track "Alabaster," which was recorded at Flux Studios and presented by Lauten Audio. Fans can check out the stripped down version of the track now on New Noise Magazine, here: https://goo.gl/pGKL6s. "Alabaster" comes from the band's highly anticipated debut full-length album, Apartment Living, which has been heralded by NYLON, Uproxx, Alternative Press, Substream Magazine, and more.

"'Alabaster' echoes the feeling of transitional periods in our lives," shares bassist Travis Cox. "Whether it be sorting through emotional baggage and expectations left behind from a failed relationship, or isolation felt after learning your family is not what you thought it was. This song elicits the desire to seek honest answers to questions I've always wanted, but have often been afraid to ask myself."

Vocalist Zane Martin adds: "The lyrics to 'Alabaster' are told mostly in retrospect; looking back and then down at my feet. It's in that recollection you see it was all small choices, little compromises building to a big reveal that left me wondering 'how was it I got here?'"

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 (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. It's available now at www.fathermountain.com.
