Mount Washington are from Tromsø in Norway. They released their debut-EP in 2004 as \’Washington\’ Since then the band have released three LPs and toured all over Europe. In 2011, coinciding with the recording of their self-titled latest record, Washington became Mount Washington, marking a new beginning.

Just before the recording of Mount Washington in the winter of 2010 and spring 2011, the band left their native Tromsø and moved to Berlin. Despite the notoriously grim winter of the German capital, the result is a more upbeat record than its predecessors, inevitably influenced by the rich Berlin music scene. Still, the melancholy of previous records is here – its heart-wrenching themes setting the tone of the album\’s ten tracks.

Mount Washington sets itself apart from the previous records, just as much as the others differ from each other. The debut, A New Order Rising, was inspired by Americana and folk. The sophomore Astral Sky was a more pop-oriented younger brother, the band opting for a more straightforward approach than with the predecessor, and with Rouge/Noir the group sought to explore new territory again, with an album labelled as \”widescreen\” and a \”tour de force of massive rock landscapes\” by the music press. During their stay in Berlin, the band has developed a new, more open approach to music, while keeping their distinctive sense of melodies
