ANDY OLIVERI & THE MOUNTAINEERS



"It's hard to ignore a song as dreamy, psychedelic, hypnotic, and broadly experimental as this." - Gigwise.



“Eight minutes of fascinating sonic exploration” - Vulture Hound ‘Artist of the Week’.



‘Where Wild Flowers Grow Fondly’ single featured on Mark Radcliffe (BBC6Music), Steve Lamacq (BBC6Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X).



Andy Oliveri & the Mountaineers explore all angles of their collective musical heritage on their debut album. Produced by James Bragg (Gengahr, Tourists), ‘Call Them Brothers’ is not only a cumulative history of great songwriters but is indicative of the way in which those albums were created. Heavily influenced by college rock bands, britpop and shoegaze from the late 80’s and early 90’s Oliveri’s first offering with The Mountaineers picks bits from history to build a new beginning.



The bands realisation of their artistic vision is evident in the video for opener ‘Where Wild Flowers Grow Fondly’. Directed by Chris Jackson the video is a collaborative piece based around the confusion of a new beginning. Visually questioning the ‘Normal’ and origins of familiar structures it features an essay piece by Oscar Gaynor, which touches on our instincts and emotions through these seemingly new encounters. The video and essay were created separately with only the bands music as a guide and serves as an introduction to the themes of the record; a satisfying confusion of escapism and positive reflection.
