Big Mountain County / Deep Drives

Big Mountain County
release “Deep Drives”
out on July 15th 2024

Rome’s very own Electro-Psych outfit, Big Mountain County, is set to release their third LP ‘Deep Drives’ on November 29th via Sister 9 Recordings.
After unveiling their latest EP, Klaus, at the New Colossus Festival in New York and SXSW in Austin, the band took a year-long studio break, honing and redefining a distinctive sound that bridges primitive Garage Rock and Neopsychedelia with Electroclash, Kraut and Disco. Stay tuned for updates as we’ll reveal more details and the release date in the coming weeks.

Big Mountain County formed in Rome in 2013 after four southern boys, two from the slopes of Mount  Etna and two from the Adriatic Coast, came together. They instantly bonded over a mutual love for The  Stooges, MC5, The Velvet Underground, and Jon Spencer, leading to the release of a 7-inch record  brimming with raw Garage Rock & Roll. This debut propelled them into an exciting tour across Eastern 
Europe, hitting countries such as Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. They soon moved beyond Garage Rock to immerse themselves in the European Neopsychedelic resurgence and spent the  following years carving out a reputation in the vibrant continental live scene.
They dropped two LPs—Breaking Sound (Gas Vintage Records, 2015) and Somewhere Else (Porto  Records, 2020)— along with a live album. After relentlessly touring across Europe and the UK, joining the  bills of Sziget Festival, Binic Folk Blues Festival, and opening the Italian tour for Cloud Nothings in 2019, they finally hit the US in 2023, gracing six different venues at SXSW and sharing stages with Osees 
and Os Mutantes. By the time they returned to Italy, they had secured summer openings for Brian  Jonestown Massacre and La Femme. That year’s EP Klaus marked a bold new shift, diving into a more  dance-driven and electronic sound. Featuring collaborations with electronic psych producer and  LEVITATION DJ in residence Al Lover, along with Roman producer Hugo Sanchez, the making of 
‘Klaus’ gave the band a revitalising spark, steering them into a new musical direction.
