"That is a proper tune" BBC Radio Derby

Derby's Mount Famine are back with their new single Distance; a 3 minute guitar/ synth driven alternative anthem. It marks a return to form for the band, who have previously been singled out by the actor Robert Carlyle and Shed Seven's Rick Witter.

Mount Famine are a post punk/synth infused indie rock n’ roll project inspired by 80s bands such as The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs and Pet Shop Boys. They share a love of the 90s (Manic Street Preachers, Pulp & Suede) and the same desire to tell stories that produce the adrenaline-fueled highs of indie disco dancefloors.

Distance was written on an old Roland synthesizer and beaten up drumkit.  It's about "the blink of an eye and the speed of life. The thing that eventually shows it’s face that you realise is what you needed all along.." It’s their first release in over a year and an attempt to create a short wall of sound ‘up’ that builds from hook to hook before disappearing again in to the depths.

Mount Famine are currently working on new music.
