Which moments defined Mt. Wolf in 2012?
The first big moment would have to be the response to our initial demos on Soundcloud. When you first unleash music into the world it’s such a stab in the dark. For people to listen to, let alone like our tracks was a real buzz. 2012 had some great live moments for us too, notably our shows in the US culminating in a gig in the Nevada Desert. It all feels quite apocryphal now.

Who or what influences you?
With the four of us working together there’s a lot that is brought to the table in terms of influence. Collectively we’re influenced by a desire to make new sounds that are evocative and expressive. More specifically we listen to and take influence from a broad range of stuff old and new – anything from Fleetwood Mac and Chris Isaak to Grimes and Tipper. Tipper at Symbiosis Gathering this year was incredible.
 
Have you heard or read any descriptions of your sound that resonate in particular?
Our mention in Clash’s Ones To Watch longlist recently springs to mind: “…psych flavoured, trippy folkish-electronic sound, Sigur Ros-like ethereal soundscapes and sensual vocals spread over four-minute-plus opuses make for one intoxicating aural bliss-out from this London-based quartet.” We’ve also been described as “swirling in a James Blake meets Sigur Ros kaleidoscope” - a reference that we all enjoyed!

What can we expect from Mt. Wolf in 2013?
We are putting the finishing touches to a new EP due out early in the new year and gearing up for our headline show at XOYO on 28th February. That’s going to be a big moment for us.

Who would you pick to support you at Brixton Academy next year?
Radiohead. We reckon they could be ready?
