I Am The Mountain plays campfire soul music, and is currently based in Calgary, AB. Carefully woven throughout our songs are emotion and atmosphere. "We feel the music, and want people to experience our songs in the way that they feel is fitting. Chat with a friend, dance uncontrollably, have an Old Fashioned (neat), or lay quietly, motionless, focusing on each and every syllable and note." The EP, We’re Here For Each Other, is out now everywhere.

La musique folk d’I Am The Mountain est de celle que l’on joue autour d’un feu de camp. À travers leurs chansons, le groupe parvient à véhiculer des émotions tout en créant une atmosphère pour chacune de leurs pièces. « Nous ressentons la musique et voulons que les gens qui écoutent nos chansons les vivent d’une façon qui leur est propre, que ce soit en parlant avec un ami, en dansant de façon incontrôlable, en buvant un Old Fashioned, ou encore en étant étendu sur leur lit, se concentrant sur chaque syllabe et chaque note. » L’EP « We’re Here For Each Other » est disponible dès maintenant.

Von Bieker plays bowtie rock to haunt your heart. Retro guitar twang sets a reverb-soaked soundstage for Von Bieker's resonant writing; his voice pushed until it cracks into free-fall falsetto. This is folk-rock dressed in style and substance, revealing influences ranging Bahamas to Jeff Buckley; Radiohead to the Talking Heads; Cockburn to Cohen. Von Bieker's latest four song EP, Where The Love Comes Easy, is available wherever fine music is sold or streamed.

https://soundcloud.com/vonbieker

Le ton rétro de la guitare de Von Bieker crée une scène sonore emplie de réverbération, laissant toute la place à son écriture résonnante et à sa voix qu’il pousse jusqu’à ce qu’elle craque et libère son falsetto.

Le son riche de Von Bieker révèle des influences qui vont de Bahamas à Jeff Buckley, en passant par Radiohead, The Talking Heads, Cockburn et Cohen.

Le dernier EP de Von Bieker « Where The Love Comes Easy » est disponible sur les plateformes de diffusion et partout ou vous achetez votre musique.
