Cheek Mountain Thief is a project started in 2011 by Mike Lindsay, founding member of the UK twisted acid folk band Tunng. He lives in Iceland where he formed a band with musicians from Húsavík and Reykjavík.

In 2011, Lindsay returned to Iceland to rekindle that romance, and to record a new album under the name Cheek Mountain Thief, inspired by the landscape and the people of Iceland.^[1]

The band is signed on the London independent record label Full Time Hobby.
