Racing Mount Pleasant
The self-titled debut album by Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Racing Mount Pleasant is a work that deserves our full attention. The band, formerly known as Kingfisher, has taken a huge step forward with this debut!
Their style blends indie rock, art rock, and progressive-folk into a mix that is both powerful and delicate. Listening to the album, you can hear echoes of artists like Bon Iver, as well as the structural complexity of bands like Black Country, New Road.
The album is the result of a long journey and a deep understanding among the seven musicians in the group. Their sound is enriched by the skillful use of saxophones and trumpets, which create rich, emotional, and at times almost dreamlike atmospheres.
"Racing Mount Pleasant" is a mature and layered work that marks the arrival of a band with a clear vision. With their ability to combine emotional intensity and technical mastery, Racing Mount Pleasant proves they are ready to make their mark on the international music scene.
