Texas bred singer/songwriter and Big Thief guitarist Buck Meek presents “Haunted Mountain”, his third solo album and first for 4AD.

The record is about love and… something other, something bigger than love, something that doesn’t challenge it 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”. In between the lines of “Haunted Mountain”, we hear that love, in every form, is the creation of home, from within – forever leaving one to find another.
