"ONCE WE WERE PRESENT"
by Mountain Bird 

What happens when dumb monkeys meet modern technology.

The intoxicating effects of the internet age are something Adam Öhman, the Stockholm-based singer, songwriter and producer, who is also known as Mountain Bird, poignantly channels on his new Once We Were PresentEP, with the record’s five tracks supposed to illustrate the baleful grip social media has on so many of our lives.Having made his breakthrough with 2018’s CubismEP,  which  consisted  primarily  of  atmospheric stadium pop anthems. He released his second EP in January, DearBrainLetMeSleepwas a detailed and honest insight into the life of someone battling with their mental health, a journey through lush electronic soundscapes and alluring synth textures. It marked the start of a new chapter sonically for the artist, who previously recorded either instrumentals, or using guest vocalists.Once We Were Presentmarks Öhman’s continuing growth into an introspective songwriter who enjoys exploring the human condition just as much as making people dance.“So many people have this abusive relationship with social media, which takes over their lives just like a regular drug addiction does,” the artist explains to me of the new project’s conceptual aims. “With this new EP, I wanted to question whether it currentlyhas too big of a grip over our lives. I hope these songs show people that the internet is a tool we must respect and that we shouldn’t be embracing at the expense of enjoying our youth.”

Alright so this could nottttttt have been timed better! ❤️🥳🕺💃🥳❤️

Literally an hour after Boris announces that we can see the horizon of beautiful messy sticky dark noisy ravesssss, we are putting out our song about longing for the return of that culture! And I swear down this is just a truly wonderful coincidence! But it makes me feel really verrrrry happy. 🤗🤗🤗

The Blessed Madonna and I had a chat on zoom a few months back now and she was talking in the infinite and naturally poetic way that she does about, well really how everrrrrryone is feeling! And because we were writing it was being recorded! So I sampled it! And tuned her to be singing at times and I just reeallllyyy love it. And also an enormous big ups to the great Boston Bun who we produced it with.
