Mountaineer started out life as the project of German singer and
songwriter Henning Wandhoff but soon after the release of his
first album æSunny DayÆ he began to itch for collaborators,
especially in taking his epic songs into the live environment.
After a few years and a few lineup changes he was eventually left
with the crack team of Katja Raine, Fiona Mckenzie, Anna
Bertermann and Alexander Rischer and he could begin work on his
third albumà
Wandhoff had a specific goal in mind as he pieced together the
initial skeletons of æWhen the Air is Bright They ShineÆ; he was
listening to the classic LPs of the late 60s and 70s; 35-40
minutes, 10 tracks, every track perfectly realised and the album
holding together without filler. There were none of those modern
devices used to trick people into thinking they have got something
a little more worthy than it really isà just pure pop music. He
wanted to re-create this, but not make something knowingly retro,
instead to put together his album with the same sort of high bar
of quality control, to put together 10 songs that embodied the
philosophies of those classic albums without actually mimicking
them. After two years of work Wandhoff finally succeeded and had
moulded the tracks into leftfield pop gems, raking in influence
from decades of essential music.
The album opens with æA Town Called IvanhoeÆ and weÆre already on
the right path û the track has the best elements of Jim OÆRourke,
Kings of Convenience or Jose Gonzalez, but manage to inject itÆs
own special Bossa charm which carries across the whole album.
Imagine driving along a beach on the West Coast of the USA as the
sun is setting and youÆll have some idea of the rich moods
captured on this ten track disc. When we reach æEliza (A Day For
Every Hour)Æ itÆs clear Wandhoff has a deft skill in pop
songwriting û this is a track that wouldnÆt sound out of place on
any self-respecting radio show, but whatÆs more itÆs actually
credible too. As WandhoffÆs soft vocals trip and tread over
brushed drums and slide guitar itÆs simply impossible not to fall
in love with the music.
In cynical times like these it has never been more appropriate to
deliver an honest album of great music, music that makes you feel
good to be alive. æWhen The Air Is Bright They ShineÆ is exactly
that, and itÆs unforgettable sun-drenched moods will take you all
the way to paradise and back again.
