Black Mountain Member to Release
New Material
as Pink Mountaintops
In the next installment of confusing band name crossover,
the Pink Mountaintops are ramping up for releasing
new material on Jagjaguwar Records. In what's almost
as confusing as all those bands with the the word
"wolf" in their name, Pink Mountaintops
is primarily Stephen McBean, but he rotates
in a lot of collaborators. Stephen McBean is
also a member of Black Mountain, who is also on Jajaguwar.
Confused? Don't be. Here's what you need to know:
Pink Mountaintops just released a two-song
EP known as The Ones I Love / Erected 7".
It's been released to generate excitement around the
upcoming full length release of Axis of Evol,
due out in March of 2006.
The album PR is flaunting sonic associations to Psycho
Candy-era Jesus and Mary Chain or Spaceman 3. A preview
of the new material sounds like unashamed drum machine
beats laid under static-laden distorted guitars. All
of this with a nod toward pop, but more in a "hey,
whats up" nod that you give someone in passing
than a full on embracing of pop music. Check it out
for yourself with the free MP3 of New Drug Queens
below.
