Mike Montrey Band shares the finer details on album, "Searching For My Soul" - Interview
With his impending album release of Searching For My Soul right around the corner, we got the special opportunity to sit and speak with Mike Montrey! Please enjoy our full interview below.
Fusing together elements of Americana, Rock, and beyond, we’ve been looking forward to speaking with Mike Montrey ever since we last reviewed his single, “I Can’t Wait Any Longer”. Now that we’ve had the chance to listen to the entirety of Searching For My Soul, it’s delivered beyond all expectations, and it was truly the cherry on top to speak with Mike to get all the necessary specifics. We learned about the origins of these tracks, all involved in the band, and plenty more tidbits we recommend you don’t miss out on.
Over the course of seven wonderfully crafted tracks, Mike Montrey Band takes you on a sonic journey through inventive rhythms, compelling stories, and an extremely diverse usage of instrumentation featured throughout. We had an idea of what might be coming through “I Can’t Wait Any Longer”, but a major surprise was the cohesiveness that it presented from start to finish. So often it feels like artists focus intently on creating the “perfect single”, but for us, we’re all about that front to back album experience that immerses you into the soul of the music. It doesn’t happen often, but it's records like these that sort of reignite that flame for some of our favorites from decades past.
While Mike is also the lead man in the band, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t name the rest of the members who made this all happen. With the help of Marc Swersky (production), Jen Augustine (vocals), and Anthony Duca (bass) in the past he also brought on John Ginty (keys), Jack Stanton (pedal steel guitar), and Brian Prokop (drums), with mixing from Seth von Paulus. Together, all collaborators have come together to create something beautiful and special all at the same time. Let us not spoil anymore, please go ahead and click below to listen, follow along, and of course to keep up with all major news!
