Over The Mountain

Description

Portland indie pioneers return triumphantly with the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Losing My Shadow. Over The Mountain is both an ambitious exploration of the human spirit and a testament to the will to press forward against all odds. Conceived in the wake of multiple tragedies—the 2020 global quarantine, the 2021 West Coast wildfires, and the horrific murder of their friend and band co-founder, Reese Lawhon—Over The Mountain navigates its way through a maelstrom of reactions to the most turbulent of times from which it emerged. The band took these chaotic shifts and catastrophes to forge new paths, exploring new sonic territory: Fusion-Funk Moog Basses and Hip-Hop drum machines, New Wave synths and touches of Samba, Blues, Soul and Sunshine Pop—all while continuing in what Aan fans have come to know: anthemic sing-along melodies for therapy and face-melting guitar solos. For fans of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, STRFKR, Pixies, Dungen, Grizzly Bear, TV On The Radio, Stereolab, and Modest Mouse. Die-cut sleeve, full-color printed inner sleeves, and a fold-out poster/lyrics.
