"And those parties were filled with big bangers as the soundtrack-stuff I didn't really listen to on my own, stuff I hadn't really encountered since my adolescence. But in the early hours of Sunday morning, 'Alive' by Pearl Jam sounds like you're talking to God. And so does 'All I Wanna Do' by Sheryl Crow, and so does 'Feel' by Robbie Williams."
"The album was produced by bandleader Albert Wolski, who says "I'm enjoying telling friends that EXEK have signed with DFA cos the response is invariably wow that's fucking cool! And then I say just wait til you hear the new record." Prove the Mountains Move is a bit more melodic than previous EXEK records and Wolski says it was inspired by reconnecting with the world post-Covid lockdown."
EXEK signed with DFA Records and will release their seventh album, Prove The Mountains Move, on February 27. Previous releases appeared on Castle Face and W. 25th. The album was produced by bandleader Albert Wolski. The record leans more melodic than earlier EXEK work and draws inspiration from reconnecting with the world after Covid lockdown. Post-lockdown socializing reintroduced pop-era soundtrack songs alongside krautrock and dub influences, shaping a lighter, more emotional direction. Each song acts as a vignette into abstract scenarios while recurring lyrical and musical motifs appear across tracks. The opening track "Sidestepping" is bright and hooky yet retains EXEK's motorik drone DNA.
