Explore the "Mountains" with this Seattle foursome.

There's some poetry in the name of Seattle indie-rockers Made of Boxes, as despite being able to be identified as indie-rock, they really don't fit into any one specific box, genre-wise. Rather, they’re made of many boxes, as their music contains elements of alt-rock, jazz, psychedelic-rock, and even ambient-rock.

The band will be releasing their self-titled debut album on July 8, and in anticipation of this, we have the exclusive premiere of the video for the album's lead single, "Mountains.”

Made of Boxes' frontman Luke Brown says of the song, "‘Mountains’ is about being haunted by loss and the memories of your past, whether they're good or bad memories. Even the good memories can become tormenting ghosts when you've lost the lover you were holding hands with, or the friend you were laughing with."

He notes the video is in a similar vein, saying, “It explores a woman's escape from an onerous relationship, and the suffocating memories of the city streets. As she escapes, the world as she knows it subtly begins to crack and crumble, but she continues to run anyway, away from the city, and into the mountains, where she can breath again."

The band's John Hage adds, "Just as the heroine of the song, we hope the listener will find it easier to breathe after indulging."
