Andy Oliveri and The Mountaineers

Andy Oliveri &amp; the Mountaineers explore all angles of their collective musical heritage on debut album. Produced by James Bragg (Gengahr, Tourists) ‘<a href="spotify:album:2AuJzJJBsf7MlmKcKgSqA3" data-name="Call Them Brothers">Call Them Brothers</a>’ is not only a cumulative history of great songwriters but is indicative of the way in which those albums were created.

The album&#39;s lead single, &#39;Where Wild Flowers Grow Fondly&#39; channels a fuzzy 8 minute haze of the band&#39;s shoegaze and krautrock influences, and received airplay from Mark Radcliffe (BBC6Music), Steve Lamacq (BBC6Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X).

After a summer of touring and festival appearances, the band retreated to record their next single &#39;Dragonfly&#39; released in March 2018. The event was marked by the first &#39;Circus Envy Festival&#39;, a one-day event celebrating music and art curated by the band. Follow-up &#39;Six Sisters&#39; combined motorik rhythms, erratic guitars and soaring vocal harmonies, the single displays a sonic shift with the band taking on the role of production for the first time. &quot;When we started recording it was clear we all had these individual ideas and started building these pockets of sound, later compiling them together&quot; says Oliveri, &quot;it was inspiring to bring five minds together and &#39;Six Sisters&#39; is the truest reflection of this band yet.&quot;
