Inspired to write this record by different genres and fictional stories, alternative rocker Michael Lumby has released his new album ‘Wolves on the Mountain’. Collaboration was a vital part of this album. Michael Lumby works with a wide variety of other artists allowing each of them to add their own unique spin on the songs. Featured artists include Michael Galloway, Christopher McDougall, Fiona Reid, Callum Campbell, Lola Elvira Dorado.

Michael Lumby is a solo Scottish artist who writes, records and produces his own music from his own home recording studio in Perth.

‘Wolves on the Mountain’ is a buoyant collection of tracks that tell witty tales of unique characters surrounded by Michael Lumby’s lively musicianship. The tracks are driven by radiant sprightly guitar lines, punchy vibrant percussion and warm cheery melodies. Lumby blends folk and country tones with indie rock elements to create a vibrant and satisfying sound. From the jangly piano and country-esque vocals of Fiona Reid on ‘Wolves on the Mountain’ to the darker lamenting ‘That’s What A War Does’ the album surges with catchy melodies and sweet little refrains. The warm guitar solos and intricate instrumentation flowing through each track creates a cohesive thread and fluid quality to the album. There is no shortage of jaunty rock songs on the album either with the shredding sharp guitars and punchy drums in ‘Knights Nightmare’ and swaggering rock n roll soundscape in ‘Maybe I’ll See You Tonight’ there is something for everyone.

‘Wolves on the Mountain’ is a tight and well crafted album with uplifting and catchy tunes brimming with warmth and rich musicianship.
