Buck Meek

Buck Meek says that love songs are the hardest songs 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.” 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.

Following Buck Meek’s beloved 2021 album, Two Saviors, the Big Thief guitarist is back with Haunted Mountain (Out 25 August) – his third solo outing and first for new label home 4AD. Buck brings his band to Edinburgh Summerhall on Sat 26 to celebrate the album’s release the day before alongside a collection of gems from his early records. Not to be missed.
