Today Mountain Boy delivers his debut album The Days, a 9-track reflection on the ebbs and flows of life and the necessity of gratitude.

Featuring already released tracks Let It Lie, Lucky, Noom, Dais and Keel, the album includes four brand new tracks Millions, Very Like You, Good Night Babe and These Are The Days.

The musical nom de plume of Aaron Clarke, Mountain Boy is a project that's garnered praise from all corners, and his debut record is undergirded by his journey as a songwriter and producer. “Compared to my previous bodies of work, I leant into my tastes more and embraced the quirks, rather than shying away from them,” Clarke explains.

Lead track for the album Millions unfolds as an honest narrative, inspired by thoughts of a late night drive. Free from doubles and delays the artist usually favours, the track offers a pleasant point of difference on the project, that elevates the record from folk, to folk rock.

To celebrate the release, he'll be hitting the road across the North Island to perform the album in full with his band. Starting in Raglan at The Yard on 15 February and finishing in Auckland at Big Fan on 22 February. Tickets are on sale now through undertheradar.co.nz.

Reflecting on the project, the artist explains “The result is a record that will have you gazing off into the distance and leave you feeling less alone and hopefully, more grateful.” The Days is out now on all streaming platforms.
