Some albums feel like they were written in a single burst of light. Heart on Sleeve, 10,000 Better Days by Private Mountain isn’t one of them. The debut from Naarm/Melbourne’s Tom Atkinson and Tom Pleasance is an emotional archive, built slowly in their Box Hill living room over years of heartbreak, breakthrough, and everyday survival. Rather than hiding behind irony, Private Mountain meets life head-on, crafting songs that trace emotional echoes across time; when being 24 feels just like being 17, or when heartbreaks overlap like old scars.
