Brian López – Black Mountain (Official Music Video) [
]
Shining bright under the Arizona sun, singer-songwriter and producer Brian López has been influential in defining the American Southwest sound over the past two decades. A classically-trained musician with indie-rock roots, López bridges genres from indie and art rock to Americana, psychedelia, folk, cumbia and chamber pop.
His critically acclaimed fourth studio album, IIDAL, exudes the famed desert romantic's sweet magnetism and characteristic Southwestern psychedelic tendencies. It was named "Album Of The Month" on FIP national radio in France and was featured in major music outlets worldwide, including NPR, Americana UK, and Rolling Stone France. Recorded at his own Dust and Stone Studios in Tucson, Arizona, TIDAL has been described as the "mature, baroque, sunlight-and-shade album that a few lucky artists get to make in their careers...A psychedelic masterpiece."
Since TIDAL's 2023 release, López has captivated live audiences across North America and Europe, headlining at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and opening for acclaimed bands like Calexico and DeVotchKa.
In addition to his solo repertoire, López has been an active member in the band Calexico since 2018, an influence that runs deeply in his craft. He has also toured with Gaby Moreno, Nouvelle Vague, KT Tunstall, Giant Sand, Mexican Institute Of Sound, and is a founding member and frontman to the psych/cumbia rock outfit, XIXA. He's been a featured artist on many recordings, including Amos Lee's "Windows Are Rolled Down", Calexico's
"California Dreamin" and KT Tunstall's album Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon, amongst others. His music has recently been featured in CBS's
"Coyote", Netflix's "October Faction" and Amazon Prime's "Night
