I Build Collapsible Mountains
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, IBCM is the solo project of Luke G. Joyce. As former frontman for post-rock band The Gothenburg Address (ex-Arab Strap), Luke carries a strong history of performing to live crowds all around the UK and Europe. As opposed to his former band, however, IBCM is much more subdued and sees Luke returning to his roots as a singer-songwriter. Having released a debut in the UK, A Month of Lost Memories, IBCM has since been the recipient of many praises across the country. The Guardian described Luke’s music as radiating an “assuring warmth” while the Glasgow PodcArt admitted that IBCM “isn’t just another acoustic artist. [IBCM] is like fire on a landscape.”
Taking 4 tracks from “A Month of Lost Memories” and adding a new track, the self-titled debut US EP is set to extend IBCM's sincere songwriting beyond the UK. From the more upbeat opening track "Rails" to the subdued last track "Switch", the EP never fails to capture the listener's attention and as one reviewer exclaimed - "you almost fall in love through listening."
"His music is what I like to listen to when I'm come home from a mad day's work. It's sincere and radiates an assuring warmth." - The Guardian UK
"...a raw, emotional, and genuine record." - Putabirdonitmusic
"This isn’t just another acoustic artist; I Build Collapsible Mountains is like fire on a landscape. Joyce’s vocals have the most exquisite gravel to them that is not only melancholy delight, but you almost fall in love through listening" - Glasgow Podcart
"Bittersweet and thought provoking. Each song tells a story that you wish would never end and Luke’s voice emits a gravelly sweetness which is sure to lure in listeners." - Favourite Son
"Emotive and Thematic" - Totally Crushed Out Mag
