Here it is folks, Treetop Flyers‘ debut album ‘The Mountain Moves‘ is finally here, available now in all your favourite formats – DL, CD, LP. Let us use this space to remind you of a few of the nice things that people have been saying about it so far :-
“(Treetop Flyers) share with Midlake custody of a brood of Buckingham/Nicks-era Fleetwood Mac licks, likewise the Mac’s mood of unrequited yearning. More, please.” ★★★★ - Q
“…effortlessly captures the spirit of late-1960s west coast pop-rock: the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. British influences can be heard: there are hints of the Faces’ or the Rolling Stones’ swagger in Laurie Sherman’s classic-rock guitar licks, and sublime opener Things Will Change dips into 1980s winsome indie” ★★★★ - The Guardian
“Debut album ‘The Mountain Moves’ is chock full of lush harmonies, warm arrangements and billowing acoustic guitars as fresh as a breeze looming in from San Francisco harbour” – 8/10 Clash
“Sounding fresh, vibrant and full of great innovative ideas” 8/10 – Americana UK
“A luscious form of Americana with big arrangements, acoustic guitars aplenty and great vocal harmonies” - Glasswerk
“It’s slimmed down harmonies and detailed instrumentation makes this a sweet, relaxing pleasure” - Penny Black Music
“From start to finish this album is a masterpiece. It is like a well-oiled machine, it works perfectly and flows effortlessly” - Music News
“An album that oozes quality, demands repeated listens, and almost certainly signals the emergence of a major new talent” ★★★★★ – Get Ready To Rock
“marks a somewhat welcome return to the classic side of folk-rock.” 7/10 - This Is Fake DIY
“This is a really strong debut that in channelling the greats becomes great in its own way too.” ★★★★ – IndieLondon
