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.

Founded in Charlottesville, VA in 1996 by Darius Van Arman, the label was invited to relocate to Bloomington by Jason Noble of Rodan. Darius followed this invitation in 1999 and has since built a reputation for releasing exceptional music.
With a focus on promoting talented artists across various genres, Jagjaguwar has become known for its diverse roster and commitment to supporting independent music. The label's catalog includes releases from acclaimed acts such as Bon Iver, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
As a trusted name in the industry, Jagjaguwar continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music. With their dedication to quality and artistic integrity, they have established themselves as a go-to destination for music lovers seeking unique sounds and fresh perspectives.

initial copies come with the four track cdep 'druganaut'. 'wilderness heart', the new album by black mountain, is packed with succinct rock songs that pulse and pound with startling precision: it pummels you and you ask for more. this is arguably the band's tightest, most concentrated venture, but there's still plenty of raw rock energy at work. it's a black mountain pop record, which is to say it's nothing like pop at all. the band cites a slew of disparate influences - new order, king crimson, studio 54, alex chilton, sunshine, janis joplin, please kill me, shirley collins, mickey newbury, jalapeo salsa, night of the hunter, cactus taqueria, funky16corners podcasts, dennis wilson, the house blowing up in the desert at the end of zabriskie point but who knows how these things connect with the holistic mix of often dissonant forces that become black mountain?
