Label GB

Black Mountain is a Canadian psychedelic rock band hailing from Vancouver, BC. Originally known as Jerk with a Bomb in the late '90s, Stephen McBean transformed the group into Black Mountain by the mid-2000s. Their unique sound draws influences from blues, psychedelia, acid rock, and the Velvet Underground. With a blend of darkness and grit reminiscent of Warlocks and Brian Jonestown Massacre's trippiness, Black Mountain debuted on Jagjaguwar in 2004 with their 12" Druganaut. They continued to release music under this label including their eponymous full-length album in January 2005.

Black Mountain consists of talented local musicians such as Matthew Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt, Joshua Wells, and Amber Webber who all contribute to the band's communal ethic. It is worth noting that Black Mountain coexisted alongside McBean's other band Pink Mountaintops.

If you enjoy Black Mountain's distinctive sound, you may also appreciate similar artists like Dead Meadow, Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound, Sleepy Sun, The Black Angels,and Wooden Shjips among others.

back in stock! the vinyl edition of the record is a double lp in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, limited to just 500 copies. our favourite psych-and-prog-spiritual pioneers black mountain are back with 'in the future', their second full-length album that resonates with the same epic ring, beloved deep rock touchstones and genuine folk fragility that made their self-titled debut full-length an instant classic. the new album possesses immense breadth, seamlessly showcasing short and classic folk-pop gems along with driving modern rock masterpieces, peaking with 'bright lights', a seventeen-minute multi-dimensional opus that gives pink floyd's 'echoes' a run for its money. the new album also demonstrates a compelling evolution. black mountain is matt camirand, stephen mcbean, jeremy schmidt, amber webber and joshua wells. the band hails from vancouver, british columbia, and have been making music together since 2004. their debut album garnered an impressive amount of critical acclaim, including pitchfork's prestigious 'best new music' tag, as well as being deemed by uncut magazine as the 4th best album of 2005. the band has toured the world, playing the smallest of rock clubs and the largest of outdoor amphitheaters. and the broad appeal of their musical work is unique, in that even though they are championed by the more underground-minded record-collector type of music fan as well as by high-profile musicians such as wayne coyne of the flaming lips, black mountain's live performances and recordings also retain a very universal appeal, sticking readily to the ribs of most any garden-variety music fan. perhaps black mountain strive to make music that is uncompromising but inclusive. 'in the future', mostly produced by black mountain, was recorded at three different studios, and all but one song was mixed by john congleton, known for his work with explosions in the sky, modest mouse, r. kelly, the polyphonic spree and erykah badu, amongst others. 'stay free' - borrowed previously for inclusion on the spiderman iii soundtrack - was recorded, mixed and produced by dave sardy, who has done work with the rolling stones, wolfmother, oasis and lcd soundsystem. us import copies
