about

CHT064

The Long Mountain was recorded largely over a three-day period at a cabin in Oakley, Utah during the winter of 2018. Producer Chris Bjornn (Marmalade music, us thieves, Boss TV), singer Austin Archer (Us thieves, Boss TV), and drummer Whit Hertford (Willful Creatures, LUVRS) worked 14 hour days in the mountain air augmented by backcountry ATV rides and lots of frozen pizza. A true-blue collection of folk-rock love songs, the album has winter in it's bones and passion dripping from every pore. Archer and Hertford put their whole hearts into every single song, while Bjornn toiled tirelessly for weeks to perfect the final sound. But it was the late addition of featured vocalist Jill Whit on the track "Wanna Bet?" and the under-stated, somber accordion of Nora Kirkpatrick (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) on "A Love Song" that really brought the whole thing together.
