Starting life as a bedroom project, Peter and the Mountain is another side of my music. When asked what this music sounds like, I call it "music made for a beating heart wrapped in a grizzly bears fur, and it consists of ambient dreamlike folk-pop cascading and wondering with textures, hook-full finger picking, space-filled drones and longing poetic lyrics".... or something like that.
'You Are A Bear, Take What’s Yours', is OUT NOW!
"Absolutely wonderful, majestic and strong"
- BBC Introducing
"Wiltshire’s Peter and the Mountain share a sparse minimal aesthetic with Ontario’s Great Lake Swimmers, and a similarly wide eyed and spiritual sense of melody. Intelligent and sensitive economy of playing from his band gives a sense of space to Peter Beckwith’s yearning melodies and intimate subject matter, making for a beautifully delicate and moving set of songs".
– Gladstone, London
"Placidamente sussurrate ma velate di un senso di latente inquietudine, le canzoni del suo mini album di debutto “You Are A Bear, Take What’s Yours” muovono al rallentatore su consolidati binari di intimismo narrativo, aggiungendo alle sofferte contemplazioni drake-iane di un Mark Kozelek le carezzevoli brezze di Neil Halstead".
