Pia Fraus - Mountain Trip (2018)

The Mountain Trip EP will be an exclusive release for Pia Fraus’ upcoming Field Ceremony Tour – a dreamy track with bright tones and winding, poppy melodies. Along with the single version of “Mountain Trip Guide”, the EP includes remixes from some incredible artists and long-time friends of the band. Included in the list of remixers is Lightships (Gerard Love of the Scottish band Teenage Fanclub); two from Bill Wells who is a mainstay of the Scottish indie scene, Future Pilot A.K.A. Also Seksound labelmates Wolfredt and Picnic provided remixes; and Jatun who has been a long-time friend of the band since the time of In Solarium’s release. Each artist brings their own unique interpretation to the single, evoking genres such as disco, trance, and slowcore with incredible results.

“This one has got much of its inspiration from Scottish mountains and trips to Scotland we’ve made with our friends and bandmates. I like that, in the end, this song that had started off from almighty nature, gained an even erotic undertone. It has some hazyness, overwhelmingness, a feeling that you’ve got lost in the mountains or simply in your own feelings.”
