Holy Mountain are a psychedelic rock band from Glasgow, Scotland, comprising Andy McGlone (guitar and vocals), Pete Flett (drums) and Allan Stewart (Idlewild/DeSalvo). The band are currently signed to Chemikal Underground Records.
Formation
Andy McGlone and Pete Flett met in the Captains Rest in Glasgow, December 2008 and started the band as a two-piece. They were later joined by Allan Stewart in April 2010. They take their name from the 1973 film by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Earth Measures (2008-2012)
Earth Measures was recorded in the Diving Bell Lounge, Glasgow in July 2010. The session was engineered by Marcus Mackay (Frightened Rabbit), mixed by Iain Cook (of Aereogramme, The Unwinding Hours, Chvrches), and mastered by Kenny MacLeod (Mogwai, Sons and Daughters).
Described by The List as a "cacophonous, riff-driven release imbued with savage axe-mastery and vintage spirit", the album was released on 7 May 2012 through Chemikal Underground. The album was met with positive reviews; Drowned In Sound stating 'there's a depth and richness in the sound that lets so many other rock records down.', The Skinny describing the sound as "fuzz-faced bass-heavy ecstasy" and The Line of Best Fit described it as "teetering-on-the-edge-of-insanity reckless abandon".
