Following the captivating “Take a Sudden Turn,” Luke Janela shows us another slice of his upcoming album (A RIVAL, releasing 7/31) with “Many Mountains.” Quaint acoustics and tender vocals start the song off with a cozy, intimate feel. Layers of cello and mounting rhythms escalate as the track progresses. Certainly less morose-sounding than “Take a Sudden Turn” and more in the vein of spacious folk music, “Many Mountains” is another success from Janela, whose upcoming album A RIVAL is poised to be a good one.
“‘Many Mountains’ is a song about ending up where you are supposed to be, unexpectedly,” Luke says. “It comes off as a hearty folk song, and features warm, complex layers of cello and vocals.”
