Mountain Boy’s New Album The Nights Debuts At #7 On The Official Top 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart

Mountain Boy has officially charted on the Official Top 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart, with their highly anticipated second album, The Nights, entering at #7.

Serving as the companion and continuation to their acclaimed debut album The Days, The Nights marks a subtle yet profound evolution for the project. Where the first record was shaped by solitude, The Nights was forged in the company of close friends; a shift in warmth, scale, and energy that echoes through every track.

The resulting songs are sparer, more immediate, and deeply intimate. The album captures the unmistakable organic feel of six musicians playing together in real-time, anchored by a singular, unvarnished voice front and centre. Quietly confident and unguarded, The Nights reveals Mountain Boy at their most present and connected.

The album’s rollout has already garnered strong momentum across streaming platforms, securing key inclusions on Spotify’s New Music Friday AU & NZ, Tapestry, and Open Skies, as well as Apple Music’s Today’s Acoustic and Acoustic Autumn.
