Runnner kicked off the weekend at On The Mountain 4 with a raw, powerful performance that set the tone for the days to come. Despite the band's sunny LA roots, they seamlessly blended into the snowy slopes of Hunter Mountain, creating a striking contrast between their laid-back style and the wintery backdrop. Noah’s striking vocals and vulnerable lyrics took center stage, especially on standout tracks like “I Only Sing About Food” and “Bike Again” from their 2023 album “Like Dying Stars, We’re Reaching Out”. The catchy guitar riffs captivated everyone in the audience, lingering in their minds long after the set ended. Runnner’s performance struck the perfect balance of emotion and energy, making it an unforgettable moment that began what would become an unforgettable weekend.

On The Mountain 4 is a ski trip and music video series hosted at  Hunter Mountain and Glen Falls House in the Catskills, New York featuring episodes with Local Natives, Gus Dapperton, Runnner, Girlpuppy, Fat Tony, Salt Cathedral, and TOLEDO. This sequel to the iconic 2014-2015 music video series On The Mountain follows our favorite musicians over the course of a ski trip weekend. 

Since Gus Dapperton’s music first hit our ears in 2020, we’ve been trying to find a way to collaborate with one of our favorite indie pop artists. On The Mountain was the perfect combination of work trip and vacation for him and his band as they joined us for a weekend of wellness, music, and food. There were so many magical moments with Gus: sharing a Fat Tire in the tavern during the Local Natives set, his bandmate sister singing karaoke, sharing crispy cheese-covered Grillo’s Pickles at our Alpine dinner pop-up by Chef Elizabeth Heitner, practicing yoga with fans, the list goes on. We love Gus Dapperton and can’t wait for more music to come.

For his episode we recorded his intimate performances of “I’m Just Snacking” and “Palms,” which both sent our fans one set into a frenzy.

These videos are all a part of our brand new season of On The Mountain - our music video series hosted at Hunter Mountain and Glen Falls House in the Catskills, New York featuring episodes with Local Natives, Gus Dapperton, Runnner, Girlpuppy, Fat Tony, Salt Cathedral, and TOLEDO.

If you know The Wild Honey Pie, you know we’re besties with Salt Cathedral. We’ve been collaborators for over 8 years so when we were deciding which artists to invite to On The Mountain 4, they were right at the top of our list. For their episode, we recorded “Terminal Woes” from their latest album Before It’s Gone, and “Te Quiero Olvidar” from their debut album CARISMA, during their intimate set in the base lodge at Hunter Mountain. The energy on set was infectious, with guests taking a break from somatic breathwork annd massages to dance to the feel-good vibrations coming from the stage.

We don’t work enough rappers and that’s become all too clear after our collab with Fat Tony for the fourth season of On The Mountain. Dude is a beast and his performance at Glen Falls House was truly such a highlight of the weekend. That, and of course all our time with him in the sauna with our Olipop towels. For his episode, the Houston-born rapper proudly repped his roots with a powerful rendition of “Texas” from his 2018 album, 10,000 Hours, and then turned up the heat with “Spectacular.”

Oh boy we love TOLEDO. Our bestie boys put on incredible performances for their episode of On The Mountain 4. Their surprise acoustic campfire set following the Local Natives set featured a cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven.” It really was a moment we’ll never forget, staying warm by the roaring fire as the snow was falling and our ears were treated to their stunning harmonies.

Honestly, I think everyone in my circle is a lot a bit pissed and scared right now, so it feels like the perfect time for Valerie June’s vibrant and playful music video for “Joy, Joy!” The Appalachian folk singer truly is a walking ray of sunshine - her positive energy effortlessly permeates through the screen. In our music video, she rocks an array of bright-colored outfits, a bold red lip, and a smile that is simply infectious.

Working with director Taylor Washington, who claims that this music video “was an ode to my love of light and shadows,” we see how effective this vision is. One memorable moment in the video showcases June’s silhouette illuminated by a sun-like spotlight.

“Joy, Joy!” has been on repeat since last night’s midnight drop, and we cannot wait for her new album, Owls, Omens, and Oracles, coming out on April 11. You can pre-save it here!

Lucky for us, we’ve been collaborating with Girlpuppy for a few years now. And she just keeps getting better. The Atlanta artist hung with us on set all weekend long at On The Mountain - singing karaoke, enjoying our breakfast and dinner pop-ups, playing trivia, and dancing the night away during the Saint Hippo DJ set. Her performance of my 2022 most played Spotify song, “I Miss When I Smelled Like You,” was perfect, and we captured it all on camera for her episode. We also filmed Becca and the band perform “Wish” from her debut album When I’m Alone, leaving everyone with a new favorite band as they skied, practiced yoga, and chilled in the hot tubs. 

Check out her latest single "Windows," it’s been on repeat for me all month. And while you're at it, don’t miss the boxing-inspired music video for "Champ,” I can’t stop watching!

Being with Local Natives for their performance at the base of Hunter Mountain during the taping of our new season of On The Mountain was an out-of-body experience. Against the backdrop of a snowy landscape and skiers weaving through the scene, their unique melodies and delicate harmonies rang beautifully through the crisp mountain air. Despite the cold, the band delivered an utterly flawless performance. We recorded fan favorites from their recent albums, “Just Before the Morning” and “Alpharetta.”

Back at Glen Falls House, our other home base for the ski trip, we taped the band’s intimate live set. The crowd was stoked to hear “NYE” and the band’s 2009 hit, “Airplanes.” Witnessing both the intimate live session and the rock star set at the cozy Catskills resort helped us even more appreciate what makes this band so special.

We love producing music videos, especially animated ones with our favorite artists. Hamilton Leithauser never fails to impress with his mind blowing vocals and songwriting. His new single, "Knockin' Heart," is a perfect example of how true love can be both eternal and all-consuming. His poetic lyrics, paired with animations by our very own Gabby Sibilska, prove to us time and time again that, even in a world of uncertainty, love will always remain present. His upcoming album, This Side of the Island, will be released on March 7 on Glassnote Records.

And just like that, we released our top 100 songs of 2024 with Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Lizzy McAlpine, half•alive, Suki Waterhouse, Bonny Light Horseman, Waxahatchee, Clairo, ROLE MODEL, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Gracie Abrams, girl in red, and Jelani Aryeh all in our top 100. I have to say, 2024 was hands down the best year for new music in recent memory, maybe even more so than 2017.

As we publish one of our only editorial articles of the year, one of the last remnants from our days as a music blog, we share not only our favorite songs, but also a short letter to the industry with some hopes and simple requests. Just some hopeful wishes. Find out who made the list and read our hopes for a more equitable music industry.
