iTunes Review

For their second album, 2008’s Into the Future, Vancouver, BC’s Black Mountain continue exploring the variants of 1960s and modern psychedelia that made their 2005 self-titled debut such a head turner. Leader Stephen McBean may direct the band into the pastoral meadows and space travels of early ‘70s Pink Floyd-Hawkwind and some refried boogie on the near 17-minute “Bright Lights,” but elsewhere everything from Procol Harum to Ten Years After to Jimi Hendrix to David Bowie to Mercury Rev are blended into this quintet’s exquisite journey to the center of their fantastic record collection. However, BM aren’t recreating old records, they’re reinventing the atmosphere and vibe of their favorite eras. The basic acoustic folk-pop of “Wild Wind” is given extra dimension with inspired ‘70s-styled Mick Ronson-era electric guitar. “Stay Free” (featured on the Spiderman 3 soundtrack) recalls the haunting falsetto of the Flaming Lips while charting its own free-spirited course. “Queens Will Play,” “Angels” and the creepy otherworldly closing ballad “Night Walks” illustrate further the group’s ability to channel other challenging dimensions from the simple templates of classic rock.

Customer Reviews

Black Mountain "Echoes" Pink Floyd
     

One of the most exciting bands out there for anyone who misses the grand ideas and ideals bands like Pink Floyd, the Doors and the mighty Zep brought to decades past. It's almost worth buying a record player and getting this on vinyl to experience what our generation (30 and younger) really missed out on. Don't push play on this LP until you are ready to take it all in, this isn't something you can play in the background and ignore during a chat. This may not be your Top Album of 2008 a year from now but there is a good chance it will be your emotional favorite. Treat yourself and grab the Black Mountain self titled album from 2005 and see the roots of this possible classic. 5 Shiny Stars.

For Fans of Rock
     

It's not often a band emulating the gods of rock actually acheive equal greatness. Black Mountain, on their second album, definitely gets right down to it from the start and rocks your face off. Key Tracks : "Stormy High", "Tyrants" and "Evil Ways." A key listen for 2008.

F***King Amazing!!!
     

This record is intoxicating...It's the OK Computer of stoner rock...It's the best record I've heard in years. Thank you Black Mountain.

Biography

Formed: January 01, 2004 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Cana

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '00s

After founding Jerk with a Bomb in the late '90s, Stephen McBean had by the mid-2000s transformed the Vancouver-area band into a group called Black Mountain. Drawing on blues, psychedelia, acid rock, and the Velvet Underground, Black Mountain's sound was a cross between the darkness and grit of the Warlocks and Brian Jonestown Massacre's trippiness. After debuting in October 2004 on Jagjaguwar with the 12" Druganaut, Black Mountain stayed with the label for an eponymous full-length, issued the following...
