"This is a song we love that really challenged us in the writing process," admits guitarist Austin Hohiemer. "We have sometimes had a tendency to write flowery, lengthy songs with a lot of movement. We made a concerted effort to keep this one short and punchy, and allowed ourselves to loosen up a little with the cheesy guitar solo."
He adds: "It was a lot of fun to track, and I actually ended up playing an old Japanese guitar of Matt's for the solo. You can hear the way the pickups squealed every time I lifted my fingers. Lyrically, I think it's one of the more straightforward songs on the record."
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.

THE USED
Announce Upcoming Album
The Canyon
To Be Released October 27th
New Song and Music Video for
September 7th, 2017 - Los Angeles, CA - The Used have announced they will be releasing their seventh studio album titled, The Canyon due out October 27th on Hopeless Records. Produced by Ross Robinson (The Cure, At The Drive In), the 17-track album is the most raw, unadulterated and personal piece of art the band has ever released.
The Canyon will take fans on a lyrical journey through the intimate psyche of Bert McCracken. The intricate musical composition displayed presented itself to the band in a way it never has before. "I've learned as an artist that a great idea is such a gift. If I don't stop whatever it is I'm doing, even if while driving, if I don't pull over at that moment, then maybe I didn't deserve the idea to begin with. I learned to respect and worship the ideas in that way, that they are and will always be something sacred. Stopping in that moment was a brand new approach for us during this process" says McCracken.
Every musical note and vocal heard on the record was recorded entirely on tape without a click track at the legendary Valentine Studio with some songs featuring string arrangements and a choir. The process was unique and unlike anything the band has done before. They would hit record and play it as if they were on stage, without a backing track. Songs weren't played and recorded repeatedly until the magic was gone. What you are hearing is what really took place within the recording process. Every nuance was captured and with every listen you experience something new.
Over the last 15 years The Used have released a collection of albums that have shaped the space of the alternative rock scene. High energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock creating the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally. The band put everything into writing and recording The Canyon and from start to finish you are submerged into an inescapable visceral universe and McCracken leaves us with, "That's what this record is - it's a moment of silence for what's real."
