The Mountain Howl
The Mountain Howl, born Lee Phillips, is a talented composer and producer from the Forest of Dean, England. He creates a unique mix of neo-classical techno and organic house music. With a sound that is minimal, textured, and melancholic, inspired by the beauty of bleak forests and misty nature.
Using field recordings of trees and natural elements, The Mountain Howl’s music feels both haunting and natural. His tracks don’t start or stop abruptly; they evolve like a winding forest path. Influenced by artists like Sigur Rós and Ólafur Arnalds, his music combines expansive soundscapes with a touch of neo-classical elegance.
Growing up with 90’s dance music and rave culture, his music fits well in clubs or as a soundtrack for a dark, moody film. With over 2 million streams and a strong social media following, The Mountain Howl has fans all over the world.
His tracks have been featured on major Apple Music and Spotify playlists. Originally a drummer in various bands, his interest in music production grew from a love of textures and experimental sounds. To turn synthetic instruments into organic, living sounds, he uses tape recordings and sound degradation, creating an immersive listening experience.
The Mountain Howl’s instrumental music invites listeners on a reflective journey, blending personal emotions with the music to make you sad when you dance. Committed to innovation and deeply connected to nature, he continues to create reflective and boundless sonic soundscapes.
