Review Text
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Mount Qaf (Divine Love) is the second album from Peter Matthew Bauer after 2014's Liberation. It is an album of esoteric love songs: strange and primitive rock 'n' roll performances each filled with a desperate, skeptical and highly personal form of mysticism driven by the artists own synchronistic outlook on life. Bauer is best known as the bass guitarist and organist of the indie rock band The Walkmen, with whom he recorded seven studio albums. Following The Walkmen's decision to enter an "extreme hiatus", Bauer recorded and released his debut solo album, Liberation, and embarked upon a tour with The Devourers; a newly assembled backing band featuring Fleet Foxes' Skyler Skjelset on guitar.
