Premiere: Mount Song – ‘Rocket Ride’

The latest turn from an intriguing Swedish songwriter...

Jacob Johansson is a cult figure in his native Sweden.

The songwriter's solo output has won numerous awards, with Jacob now deciding to work in a group context.

Mount Song is an attempt to fulfil this ambition, with the band's debut album set to arrive on May 5th.

Jacob Johansson explains: “I write about that which feels urgent to me, the things that knock me out; my encounters with life's monsters. That which feels most urgent for me in the moment becomes the content of the songs.”

New cut 'Rocket Ride' is online now, and it fuses a slight psychedelic edge to some introverted songwriting, reminiscent of those early Shins albums or even aspects of Flaming Lips.

Tune in now.
