BUCK MEEK
Following his beloved 2021 album, Two Saviors, Haunted Mountain marks Buck Meek’s third solo album and first for his new label-home, 4AD. Haunted Mountain is about love and… something other. Something bigger than love, something that doesn’t challenge love exactly but stands in contrast to it. A soulfulness, or a soul-seeking fullness. Meek says that love songs are the hardest to 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.”
