Buck Meek - Haunted Mountain

Released 25th August 2023

Texas-bred singer/songwriter and Big Thief guitarist Buck Meek announces his new album, Haunted Mountain, out 25 August. His first release for 4AD, Meek also shares the lead single and title track, Haunted Mountain, a song co-written alongside his friend and long-time hero Jolie Holland.

Following his beloved 2021 album, Two Saviors, Haunted Mountain marks Meeks third solo album. Haunted Mountain is about love and something other. Something bigger than love, something that doesnt challenge love exactly but stands in contrast to it. A soulfulness, or a soul-seeking fullness. Meek says that loves songs are the hardest write. Not break-up songs, but an actual love song written in earnest? That is taboo now, he says. Sometimes it can feel like all the great love songs have already been written.

Lead single Haunted Mountain is anchored by sweet lyrics penned by Meek
