Though Everest's music emerges primarily from western rock influences, the band does not limit itself to a single formula. Since 2007, Everest has released two albums, Ghost Notes and On Approach, respectively. Their latter album builds on the rustic My Morning Jacket vibes that Ghost Notes established, ranging compositions from atmospheric and guitar-driven to bucolic and lulling. Helmed by vocalist and guitar player Russell Pollard, the quintet recorded their sophomore album in a renovated former chicken farm, a fitting arena for a band with a sound steeped in rustic country rock.
