- Thrill Jockey will release the ambient duo's next LP in May.
Mountains will release a new album called Air Museum this spring on Thrill Jockey.
Made up of Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp, Mountains are a Brooklyn-based duo who specialize in droning ambient music with an organic touch. They got their start on Apestaartje, a Chicago label and artist collective they co-founded in the early '00s, then made their debut on Thrill Jockey two years ago with Choral. Air Museum shows them continuing to develop their electro-acoustic style. Though the end result sounds mostly electronic, it was performed on accordion, cello, guitar, piano, bass and medley of other live instruments, all filtered through an array of pedals and modular synths. It was mostly composed during December and January of last year at Telescope Recordings in New York, making it the first Mountains album to come out of a proper studio.
